The paper shows that Rtf2 in S. pombe is essential for proper splicing of Rtf1, which is necessary for RTS1 barrier activity.

The paper uses live-cell single-molecule tracking in fission yeast to show that Smc5/6 chromatin association depends on Nse6 and specific sub-pathways, with implications for homologous recombination.

This study investigates HR-restart of replication forks using polymerase usage sequencing and Monte Carlo simulations in S. pombe, showing Pol δ synthesizes both strands without maturing to δ/ε and demonstrating uninterrupted fork progression through barriers.
