Increased global transcription activity as a mechanism of replication stress in cancer

Cancer cells proliferate at high rates and incur replication stress. Here, the authors show that this can be the consequence of oncogene-induced higher transcriptional activity, which, through increased RNA synthesis and R-loop accumulation, results in replication fork slowing and DNA damage.
