Telomeres consist of repeating sequences of nucleotides at the end of linear chromosomes and associated proteins that together serve to protect chromosome ends from degradation or fusion. Misregulation of telomeres leads ...
-
(1997)At the ends of chromosomes are short repeated DNA sequences called telomeres that maintain the stability of the chromosome. Telomeres are maintained by a unique ribonuclearprotein called telomerase. Telomerase is developmentally ...

(2009-05-15)Telomeres comprise the physical ends of chromosomes. In the absence of telomerase, the enzyme responsible for replenishing telomeric DNA, telomeres progressively shorten due to the end replication problem. Eventually ...
-
(2022-08-17)Telomeres consist of simple G-rich DNA repeats located at the end of chromosomes that serve two distinct roles. One role is to solve the “end protection problem” by physically capping chromosome ends. This capping is ...

(2009-05-15)Telomeres comprise the physical ends of chromosomes. Essential functions of telomeres include protecting the terminus from being recognized as a DNA doublestrand break and facilitating the complete replication of the ...
