RNA transcripts serve as a template for double-strand break repair in human cells - Nature Communications DNA double-stranded breaks threaten genome stability. Here, the authors show that transcript RNA serves as a repair template in human cells and identify Polζ as a key factor in RNA-templated DSB repai...

Our study highlights RNA as a direct template for DNA repair, revealing RT-DSBR as a previously unrecognized and potentially mutagenic pathway. Huge thanks to the incredible team who made this work possible! (5/5)
