Organization and Evolution of Drosophila Terminin: Similarities and Differences between Drosophila and Human Telomeres
Drosophila lacks telomerase and fly telomeres are elongated by occasional transposition of three specialized retroelements. Drosophila telomeres do not terminate with GC-rich repeats and are assembled independently of the sequence of chromosome ends. Recent work has shown that Drosophila telomeres a...
