Differences in telomere length between homologous chromosomes in humans
1 Aug 2001
Abstract excerpt
Telomeres are important structures for DNA replication and chromosome stability during cell growth. Telomere length has been correlated with the division potential of human cells and has been found to decrease with age in healthy individuals. Nevertheless, telomere lengths within the same cell are heterogeneous and certain chromosome arms typically have either short or long telomeres. Both the origin and the...
