Dysregulated R-loops can cause stalled replication forks and telomere instability. However, how R-loops are recognized and regulated, is still not well understood, particularly at telomeres. In this ...
Genetically speaking, it's a bacterium's worst-case scenario: During transcription, newly minted RNA sticks to its DNA template, forming a 3-stranded structure known as an R-loop. While these ...
Kyle Miller and his team discovered a potential new target for drug therapies: structures in our DNA called R-loops. A human cancer cell that overexpresses the enzyme APOBEC3B (left) has fewer R-loops ...
A schematic showing how R-loops, a hybrid of RNA and DNA, can form during DNA transcription when the messenger RNA chain being assembled by the RNA polymerase binds to one of the DNA strands. R-loops ...
New research reveals how the RapA enzyme protects against R-loop cytotoxicity in E. coli. Genetically speaking, it's a bacterium's worst-case scenario: during transcription, newly minted RNA sticks to ...
