Nascent RNA, the newly synthesized transcript, is emerging as a critical determinant of transcription-replication conflict (TRC) outcomes, exerting influence through its modifications, its ability to form RNA:DNA hybrids (R-loops), its regulation of chromatin structure, and its interaction with protein complexes at the transcription-replication interface. Here, we synthesize recent advances on how nascent RNA modulates transcription dynamics, replication fork progression, and genome stability. We explore its paradoxical roles - both inducing replication stress and orchestrating protective responses - highlighting how RNA processing factors mitigate TRCs. Finally, we emphasize the need for innovative technologies to dissect the dynamic and context-dependent roles of nascent RNA and therapeutic potential for genomic instability-linked diseases.</p>","PeriodicalId":54413,"journal":{"name":"Trends in Genetics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":13.6,"publicationDate":"2025-06-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144509378","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
