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 ...
This new review article highlights the pivotal and paradoxical role of R-loops in maintaining genomic stability while simultaneously posing risks to it. These three-stranded nucleic acid structures, ...
A mechanism by which knockouts of maternal mRNA clearing factors lead to zygotic arrest in mice. Abnormal accumulation of maternal mRNAs in mouse zygotes leads to transcriptional leakage before the ...
