Repriming limits R-loop formation at DNA secondary structures during S phase. Repriming limits R-loop formation at DNA secondary structures during S phase

The goal of this study was to compare the qualitative and quantitative differences in the presence of DNA:RNA hybrids (R-loops) between wild type and PrimPol knockout cell lines. Our initial genetic experiments on a reporter locus have showed a link between the formation of R-loop and non-B DNA motifs; we have therefore analysed the correlation between R-loop abundance and of sequences computationaly predicted to form triplex-DNA or G-quadruplex forming sequences, and whether this changes between the two cell lines.
