Mammalian genomes express two principal gene categories through RNA polymerase II- mediated transcription: protein-coding transcription units and non-coding RNA transcription …
Human topoisomerases comprise a family of six enzymes: two type IB (TOP1 and mitochondrial TOP1 (TOP1MT), two type IIA (TOP2A and TOP2B) and two type IA (TOP3A …

Although transcription is an essential cellular process, it is paradoxically also a well- recognized cause of genomic instability. R-loops, non-B DNA structures formed when …
The single-stranded DNA cytosine-to-uracil deaminase APOBEC3B is an antiviral protein implicated in cancer. However, its substrates in cells are not fully delineated. Here …
R-loops are three-stranded nucleic acid structures that are abundant and widespread across the genome and that have important physiological roles in many nuclear processes. Their …

R-loops are three-stranded structures that harbour an RNA–DNA hybrid and frequently form during transcription. R-loop misregulation is associated with DNA damage, transcription …
Despite several decades of intense research focused on understanding function (s) and disease-associated malfunction of p53, there is no sign of any “mid-life crisis” in this rapidly …
The journey of RNA polymerase II (Pol II) as it transcribes a gene is anything but a smooth ride. Transcript elongation is discontinuous and can be perturbed by intrinsic regulatory …
