Determining how transcription and replication are coordinated during S-phase

RNA Pol II transcription and DNA replication are the two essential processes that use the DNA in our cells as a substrate. However, DNA can be engaged only by one of these processes at any given time, and when transcription impairs DNA replication it can induce DNA damage and genome instability. Read more
