The length of telomeric G-rich strand 3'-overhang measured by oligonucleotide ligation assay
1 Apr 2001
Abstract excerpt
A typical G-rich telomeric DNA strand, which runs 5'-->3' toward the chromosome ends, protrudes by several nucleotides in lower eukaryotes. In human chromosomes long G-rich 3'-overhangs have been found. Apart from the standard G-rich tail, several non-canonical terminal structures have been proposed. However, the mechanism of long-tail formation, the presence and the role of these structures in telomere...
