The Swr1 chromatin-remodeling complex prevents genome instability induced by replication fork progression defects

SWR-C and its substrate the histone variant Htz1 are considered important for genome maintenance. Here the authors reveal that SWR-C/Htz1 plays a critical role during replication stress caused by absence of the replication fork progression proteins Mrc1/Tof1/Csm3.
