Happy to share our new collaboration paper in Cell Reports. We show that translation synthesis in cancer cells occurs predominantly behind the replication fork, to fill ssDNA gaps, rather than to restart stalled replication forks “on the fly”.

Translesion-synthesis-mediated bypass of DNA lesions occurs predominantly behind replication forks restarted by PrimPol
The bypass of DNA lesions by translesion synthesis (TLS) polymerases is a critical step for DNA damage tolerance, allowing the completion of DNA synth…

CRISPR knockout genome-wide screens identify the HELQ-RAD52 axis in regulating the repair of cisplatin-induced single-stranded DNA gaps
Abstract. Treatment with genotoxic agents, such as platinum compounds, is still the mainstay therapeutical approach for the majority of cancers. Our unders
