Model of MRN function in R-loop tolerance and mitigation. a The MRN complex may play a structural role at transcription–replication conflicts upstream of FA pathway activation and genome stability maintenance. Speculative models for how the FA pathway could resolve these conflicts are indicated with question marks. b When MRN is depleted, the FA proteins are poorly recruited to transcription–replication conflicts, R-loops are stabilized, DNA is damaged and genome instability results
