Abstract excerpt
The reverse transcriptase telomerase copies an internal RNA template to synthesize telomeric simple-sequence repeats. In the cellular context, telomerase must elongate its few intended substrates (authentic chromosome ends) without spurious activity on other potential substrates (chromosome ends created by damage, repair, or recombination). Many mechanisms have been proposed to account for the biological...
