Nature Cell Biology News & Views article on our recent paper on small and long non-coding RNAs at DNA-damage sites
RNA takes over control of DNA break repair Francesca Storici & Ailone E. Tichon, Nature Cell Biology volume 19, pages 1382–1384 (2017) Small RNAs generated at DNA break sites are implicated in mammalian DNA repair. Now, a study shows that following the formation of DNA double-strand breaks, bidirectional transcription events…
