Nascent RNA folding mitigates transcription-associated mutagenesis

Transcription is mutagenic, in part because the R-loop formed by the binding of the nascent RNA with its DNA template exposes the nontemplate DNA strand to mutagens and primes unscheduled error-prone DNA synthesis. We hypothesize that strong folding of nascent RNA weakens R-loops and hence decreases...
