Transcription-replication (T-R) conflicts are profound threats to genome integrity. However, whilst much is known about the existence of T-R conflicts, our understanding of the genetic and temporal nature of how cells respond to them is poorly established. Here, we address this by characterizing the early cellular response to transient T-R conflicts (TRe).
