RNA–DNA hybrids promote the expansion of Friedreich's ataxia (GAA)(n) repeats via break-induced replication

Expansion of simple DNA repeats is responsible for numerous hereditary diseases in humans. The role of DNA replication, repair and transcription in the expansion process has been well documented. Here we analyzed, in a yeast experimental system, the role of RNA–DNA hybrids in genetic instability of...
