Here, we mapped nearly one million rNMPs per genome across diverse human cell types, defining a nuclear "" with non-random distribution patterns. rNMPs are enriched in C/G-rich sequences, epigenetically marked regions, and telomeres. Conserved ribonucleotide-enriched zones (REZs) overlap with CpG islands and R-loops. rNMP concentration near transcription start sites (TSSs) correlates positively with gene expression. Wild-type cells display a broader gene-expression range than ribonuclease H2A (RNH2A) knockouts, in which loss of rNMP cleavage causes pronounced retention of embedded rG and strand-biased rC near TSSs, both increasing with gene expression. These findings establish DNA-embedded rNMPs as a novel epigenetic mark that modulates human gene expression.
