R-loops are three-stranded nucleic acid structures comprising an RNA/DNA hybrid and a displaced single-stranded DNA segment. They arise co-transcriptionally when nascent RNA reanneals to the template ...
Image Caption: The factors contributing to R-loop formation. Several factors contribute to R-loop formation, including RNA components, specific DNA structures, histone and RNA modifications, ...
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, ...
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 ...
A look at neurodegenerative disease in the context of the aging brain will test the link between peculiar genomic structures in the cells, called R-loops, known to cause DNA damage as we age and ...
“There are currently limited therapeutic options for elderly patients with myeloid malignancies, who are ineligible for stem cell transplantation,” commented Dr. Sayantani Sinha, a postdoctoral ...
