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 new study by researchers at the German Center for Infection Research (DZIF) and Heidelberg University Hospital has identified RNA:DNA hybrids, known as R-loops, as structural features that guide the ...
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, ...
Researchers have figured out how the human body keeps essential genes switched "on" and silences the vast stretches of genetic repeats and "junk" DNA. Researchers at the University of California, ...
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 ...
“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 ...
