BLM helicase suppresses recombination at G-quadruplex motifs in transcribed genes

Bloom syndrome is characterized by high levels of sister chromatid exchanges (SCEs). Here, the authors use single-cell DNA template strand-sequencing to map SCEs in patient cells, and propose that the BLM helicase protects the genome against unwanted recombination at sites of G-quadruplex structures...

Sumario:Bloom syndrome is characterized by high levels of sister chromatid exchanges (SCEs). Here, the authors use single-cell DNA template strand-sequencing to map SCEs in patient cells, and propose that the BLM helicase protects the genome against unwanted recombination at sites of G-quadruplex structures.
