| Abstract | Telomeres are the natural ends of linear chromosomes. In mammalian cells they consist of a double stranded array of simple TTAGGG repeats ending in a single stranded overhang that folds back to form a T-loop structure [1]. In combination with sufficient telomere repeats, a telosome complex of indirect and direct telomere binding proteins, dubbed shelterin, assures proper telomere function [2]. Telomeres confer structural integrity and positional stability to human chromosomes [3]. |
