Genome-wide mapping reveals increased R-loops in topoisomerase III-beta-deficient human cells
Summary Aberrant R-loops can cause genomic DNA damage. We mapped R-loops across the genomes of human colon carcinoma HCT116 and fibrosarcoma HT1080 cells deficient for topoisomerase III-beta (TOP3B) by performing DNA-RNA immunoprecipitation followed by high-throughput sequencing (DRIP-seq). Knocking out TOP3B globally...
