Abstract
Genome instability is a hallmark of cancer. ATP-dependent chromatin remodelers are frequently altered in cancer. We have recently reported that the SWItch/Sucrose Non-Fermentable (SWI/SNF) complex protects the genome by limiting R-loop-mediated genome instability, mainly that caused by transcription-replication conflicts. Here we discuss the significance and biomedical applications of this finding.Entities:
