In virtually every eukaryotic species, the ends of nuclear chromosomes are protected by
telomeres, nucleoprotein structures counteracting the end-replication problem and …

Discoveries over the recent decade have demonstrated the unexpected diversity of telomere
DNA motifs in nature. However, currently available resources,'Telomerase database'and …

Telomeres are essential structures formed from satellite DNA repeats at the ends of
chromosomes in most eukaryotes. Satellite DNA repeat sequences are useful markers for …

Telomerase, telomeric DNA and associated proteins together represent a complex, finely
tuned and functionally conserved mechanism that ensures genome integrity by protecting …

In contrast to the catalytic subunit of telomerase, its RNA subunit (TR) is highly divergent in
size, sequence and biogenesis pathways across eukaryotes. Current views on TR evolution …

Fission yeasts are an ancient group of fungal species that diverged from each other from
tens to hundreds of million years ago. Among them is the preeminent model organism …

Telomerase RNA (TR) carries the template for synthesis of telomere DNA and provides a
scaffold for telomerase assembly. Fungal TRs are long and have been compared to higher …

Telomeres are protective structures at the ends of eukaryotic chromosomes, and disruption
of their nucleoprotein composition usually results in genome instability and cell death …

The discovery of telomeric repeats in interstitial regions of plant chromosomes (ITRs)
through molecular cytogenetic techniques was achieved several decades ago. However, the …

Telomeres are the physical ends of eukaryotic linear chromosomes that play critical roles in
cell division, chromosome maintenance, and genome stability. In many plants, telomeres are …
