Dynamic interaction of BRCA2 with telomeric G-quadruplexes underlies telomere replication homeostasis

G-quadruplex (G4) can be formed in telomeric DNA. Here the authors show that BRCA2 interacts with telomere G4 structure generated during telomere replication, protecting telomere from nuclease attack.
