Senataxin resolves RNA:DNA hybrids forming at DNA double-strand breaks to prevent translocations

Recent studies suggest key roles of RNA in DNA double-strand breaks repair. Here the authors identify the helicase senataxin to be involved in DNA repair and resolve RNA:DNA hybrids forming at DNA double-strand breaks.
