Sensing R-Loop-Associated DNA Damage to Safeguard Genome Stability
DNA transcription and replication are two essential physiological processes that can turn into a threat for genome integrity when they compete for the same DNA substrate. During transcription, the nascent RNA strongly binds the template DNA strand, leading to the formation of a peculiar RNA–DNA hybr...
