Human mitochondrial degradosome prevents harmful mitochondrial R loops and mitochondrial genome instability [Genetics]

R loops are nucleic acid structures comprising an DNA–RNA hybrid and a displaced single-stranded DNA. These structures may occur transiently during transcription, playing essential biological functions. However, persistent R loops may become pathological as they are important drivers of genome instability and have been associated with human diseases. The mitochondrial...
