RNA-DNA strand exchange by the Drosophila Polycomb complex PRC2
RNA is implicated in the targeting and function of Polycomb Group (PcG) chromatin regulators. Here the authors show that R-loops, three-stranded nucleic acid structures formed by DNA and RNA, are formed at some PcG binding sites in flies, as they are in mammals. Fly PRC2 can drive formation of RNA-D...
