  • PARP inhibitor olaparib impedes nascent DNA strand maturation by targeting unligated Okazaki fragments.
  • Wild-type human cells overcome olaparib-induced impediment via a BRCA1/BRCA2-dependent process that repairs thousands of single-strand breaks/gaps.
  • This repair process involves RAD51 accumulation in chromatin and operates on large nascent strand fragments hundreds of kilobases behind replication forks.
