The paper maps DNA-embedded ribonucleotides (rNMPs) across human cell types, revealing their non-random distribution and role as a novel epigenetic mark affecting gene expression.

This study shows that transcript RNA facilitates DSB repair in human cells through NHEJ and MMEJ, promoting repair or mediating RNA-templated repair based on sequence complementarity.

The paper identifies a disproportionate incorporation of adenosine in mitochondrial and chloroplast DNA of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii compared to nuclear DNA, linked to elevated ATP levels.
