Telomerase Activity in Early Bovine Embryos Derived from Parthenogenetic Activation and Nuclear Transfer1
1 Mar 2001
Abstract excerpt
This study examined the telomerase activity in preimplantation bovine embryos derived from either parthenogenetic activation or nuclear transfer. Telomeres are the DNA-protein structures located at the ends of eukaryotic chromosomes. Telomerase is the ribonuclear enzyme that helps to restore telomere length by synthesizing telomeric DNA repeat (5'-TTAGGG-3') from its own RNA template. Without telomerase activity,...
