(2015-05-13)In eukaryotes the ends of chromosomes are constituted by nucleoprotein complexes termed telomeres. Telomeres represses a DNA damage response and, more importantly, facilitate the maintenance of the terminal DNA sequence ...

(2013-07-26)Telomeres are the ends of linear chromosomes tasked with preventing their recognition by the DNA damage machinery and providing a mechanism to solve the end replication problem. The telomeric DNA is mostly double-stranded, ...
-
(2009-05-15)Telomeres are the nucleoprotein structures that protect the ends of eukaryotic chromosomes from being recognized as DNA double-strand breaks. Telomeres are recognized by the ribonucleoprotein telomerase, a reverse transcriptase ...
