Our preprint on Pol-η usage during genome replication has been uploaded. It addresses the biased use of Pol-η in the lagging strand and late-replicating regions, which may be correlated with cancer mutagenesis.

Strand- and replication timing-dependent functions of DNA polymerase η in human DNA replication and mutagenesis.
Efficient eukaryotic DNA replication relies on the coordinated actions of replicative and error-prone polymerases, with the latter providing flexibility at the cost of mutagenesis. DNA polymerase η (P...

Thanks to Gideon @costerlab.bsky.social for visiting JFCR and for a very inspiring seminar. We learned a lot about the impact of many DNA structures on genome replication/stability!
