Transcription-driven R-loop formation at S regions. Transcription occurs through each participating S region (indicated by arrows) and the nascent transcripts (dotted lines) remain bound to template DNA due to high GC content of the sequence. This displaces the nontemplate strands as ssDNA substrates, forming structures called R-loops.
