The 9-1-1 complex protects ssDNA gaps in BRCA2-deficient cancer

Helen E. Grimsley, Katherine Courtemanche, Shane Cox…·Simon N. Powell

The paper identifies the 9-1-1 complex as essential for stabilizing ssDNA gaps in BRCA2-deficient cells through an ATR-independent mechanism, highlighting its role in preventing pathological expansion and DNA damage.

RNA Transcripts Serve as a Template for Double-Strand Break Repair in Human Cells

Manisha Jalan, Alessandra Brambati, Hina Shah…·Agnel J. Sfeir

This study demonstrates that RNA transcripts can serve as templates for double-strand break repair in human cells, identifying DNA polymerase-zeta as a key enzyme and revealing genomic scars associated with this process.
