Although transcription is an essential cellular process, it is paradoxically also a well-recognized cause of genomic instability. R-loops, non-B DNA structures formed when nascent RNA hybridizes to DNA to displace the non-template strand as ssDNA, are partially responsible for this instability. Yet recent work has begun to elucidate regulatory roles for R-loops in maintaining the genome. In this review, we discuss the cellular contexts in which R-loops contribute to genomic instability, particularly during DNA replication and double-strand break (DSB) repair. We also summarize the evidence that R-loops participate as an intermediate during repair and may influence pathway choice to preserve genomic integrity. Finally, we discuss the immunogenic potential of R-loops and highlight their links to disease should they become pathogenic. While R-loops are a well-recognized source of genomic instability, replication stress, and DNA damage, there is a growing appreciation for how they contribute to genome maintenance. Here, Brickner et. al. navigate this dichotomy and discuss the consequences of R-loop dysregulation, highlighting links to the immune response and disease progression.
