Among them, the presence of non-canonical nucleic acids structures seems to create challenges for the repair of nearby DNA double strand breaks. In this review, we focus on the recently published effects of G-quadruplexes and R-loops on DNA end resection and homologous recombination. Finally, we hypothesized a connection between those two atypical DNA structures in inhibiting the DNA end resection step of HR. %K R-loops %K DNA double strand break repair %K Homologous recombination (HR) %K DNA end resection %K G-quadruplex %K Estructuras R-loop %K Recombinación homóloga %K G-cuádruplex %K ADN %K ARN %~
