Deskripsi
Here the authors show TERRA R-loops recruit the endonuclease XPF to telomeres, leading to DNA double-strand breaks to activate break-induced telomere synthesis at telomeres that utilize the alternative lengthening of telomeres (ALT) pathway to extend their telomeres independent of telomerase.
