title: The Rs of biology: R-loops and the regulation of regulators.
abstract: Work by Sun et al. (2013) in Arabidopsis reveals an additional function for R-loops in suppressing the expression of a long noncoding RNA and sheds light on the single-stranded DNA binding protein AtNDX that promotes persistence of the R-loop.
