Stepwise activation of the ATR signaling pathway upon increasing replication stress impacts fragile site integrity.

Breaks at common fragile sites (CFS) are a recognized source of genome instability in pre-neoplastic lesions, but how such checkpoint-proficient cells escape surveillance and continue cycling is unknown. Here we show, in lymphocytes and fibroblasts, that moderate replication stresses like those indu...
