R-loops and regulatory changes in chronologically ageing fission yeast cells drive non-random patterns of genome rearrangements.
Aberrant repair of DNA double-strand breaks can recombine distant chromosomal breakpoints. Chromosomal rearrangements compromise genome function and are a hallmark of ageing. Rearrangements are challenging to detect in non-dividing cell populations, because they reflect individually rare, heterogene...
