Abstract excerpt
Tandem repeats, 340 bp long, have been shown to terminate the chromosomes in Chironomus pallidivittatus and similar DNA may be used for this purpose by related insects. In view of the importance of Chironomus in telomere studies, representing in principle a third system after short repeats and Drosophila telomeric retrotransposons, we have investigated the related Chironomus dilutus, to learn what DNA structures...
