Unique C. elegans telomeric overhang structures reveal the evolutionarily conserved properties of telomeric DNA
There are two basic mechanisms that are associated with the maintenance of the telomere length, which endows cancer cells with unlimited proliferative potential. One mechanism, referred to as alternative lengthening of telomeres (ALT), accounts for approximately 10–15% of all human cancers. Tumours...
