Faithful DNA replication is critical for the maintenance of genomic integrity. Although DNA replication machinery is highly accurate, the process of DNA replication is constantly challenged by DNA damage and other intrinsic and extrinsic stresses throughout the genome. A variety of cellular stresses interfering with DNA replication, which are collectively termed replication stress, pose a threat to genomic stability in both normal and cancer cells. To cope with replication stress and maintain genomic stability, cells have evolved a complex network of cellular responses to alleviate and tolerate replication problems. This review will focus on the major sources of replication stress, the impacts of replication stress in cells, and the assays to detect replication stress, offering an overview of the hallmarks of DNA replication stress.
