Global unleashing of transcription elongation waves in response to genotoxic stress restricts somatic mutation rate

Precise orchestration of gene expression regulation upon DNA damage is essential for genome integrity. Here the authors identify a novel widespread stress-triggered defence mechanism that promotes rapid transcription-driven genomic surveillance thus limiting mutagenesis and shaping cancer genomes.
