Transcription-replication conflict resolution by nuclear RNA interference
Transcription-replication conflict resolution by nuclear RNA interference
Nuclear RNA interference limits genome instability beyond centromere function, though the mechanism was largely unknown. In this study, Cheng et al. discovered that, in S. pombe, Dicer (Dcr1) terminates RNA polymerase II at promoter-proximal pause sites when R-loops accumulate, which would otherwise cause head-on collision with the replication machinery.

Solanum pan-genetics reveals paralogues as contingencies in crop engineering - Nature
Gene duplication and subsequent paralogue diversification are major obstacles to genotype-to-phenotype predictability.
