Precise control of gene expression is fundamental to cell function and development.
Although ultimately gene expression relies on DNA-binding transcription factors to guide the …

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 …

DNA methylation (DNAm) is one of the most reliable biomarkers of aging across mammalian
tissues. While the age-dependent global loss of DNAm has been well characterized, DNAm …

R-loops are non-B DNA structures with intriguing dual consequences for gene expression
and genome stability. In addition to their recognized roles in triggering DNA double-strand …

Modulation of chromatin structure and/or modification by Polycomb repressive complexes
(PRCs) provides an important means to partition the genome into functionally distinct …

Alternative lengthening of telomeres (ALT) is a homology-directed repair (HDR) mechanism
of telomere elongation that controls proliferation in subsets of aggressive cancer. Recent …

R‐loops represent an abundant class of large non‐B DNA structures in genomes. Even
though they form transiently and at modest frequencies, interfering with R‐loop formation or …

Nearly 7 decades have elapsed since Francis Crick introduced the central dogma of
molecular biology, as part of his ideas on protein synthesis, setting the fundamental rules of …

Alterations in nuclear shape are present in human diseases and ageing. A compromised
nuclear lamina is molecularly interlinked to altered chromatin functions and genomic …

Abstract Background RNA-DNA hybrid (R-loop)-associated long noncoding RNAs
(lncRNAs), including the Arabidopsis lncRNA AUXIN-REGULATED PROMOTER LOOP …
