Position effect of human telomeric repeats on replication timing
28 Sept 1999
Abstract excerpt
Telomeres are distinct structures, composed of short, repeated sequences, at the ends of all eukaryotic chromosomes. Telomeres have been shown in yeast to induce late replication in S phase and to silence transcription of neighboring genes. To examine the possibility of similar effects in human chromosomes, we studied cells from a subject with a microdeletion of 130 kb at the end of one copy of chromosome arm...
