Abstract excerpt
Yeast strains harboring mutations in genes required for telomerase function (TLC1 and the EST genes) exhibit progressive shortening of telomeric DNA and replicative senescence. A minority of cells withstands loss of telomerase through RAD52-dependent amplification of telomeric and subtelomeric sequences; such survivors are now capable of long-term propagation with telomeres maintained by recombination rather than...
