Organization of telomere sequences in birds: evidence for arrays of extreme length and for in vivo shortening
1 Jan 2000
Abstract excerpt
Telomeres are the specialized ends of chromosomes consisting of highly conserved repeat (5'-TTAGGG-3')(n) sequences. Lack of information regarding the existence of an in vivo telomere clock function in birds, conflicting data regarding telomere array length in the chicken model, and the paucity of molecular telomere information for other avian species led us to study telomere array organization within and among...
