Gene gating at nuclear pores prevents the formation of R loops

Transcription is an important source of genetic variability. A large amount of transcription-associated genome variation arises from the unscheduled formation of R loops. We have recently found that physical proximity of chromatin to nuclear pores prevents the formation of pathological R loops durin...

Sumario:Transcription is an important source of genetic variability. A large amount of transcription-associated genome variation arises from the unscheduled formation of R loops. We have recently found that physical proximity of chromatin to nuclear pores prevents the formation of pathological R loops during transcription. Our study opens new perspectives to understand genome stability as a function of nuclear location.
