DNA replication: stalling a fork for imprinting and switching

Research output: Contribution to journalJournal articleResearchpeer-review

Mating-type switching in fission yeast has long been known to be directed by a DNA 'imprint'. This imprint has now been firmly characterized as a protected site-specific and strand-specific nick. New work also links the widely conserved Swi1-Swi3 complex to the protection of stalled replication forks in general.
