R-loops are three-stranded nucleic acid structures that form co-transcriptionally and which are comprised of an RNA -DNA hybrid and a displaced strand of ssDNA. Although R-loops have important functions in cells, their dysregulation can also lead to genome instability. We recently showed that a surprising consequence of dysregulated R-loop metabolism is the release of RNA -DNA hybrid fragments into the cell and subsequent sensing of these hybrids by innate immune receptors. In this seminar I will describe our recent studies demonstrating how these pathological R-loops arise and features that cause them to threaten genome stability.
