Effects of telomere length in Drosophila melanogaster on life span, fecundity, and fertility.

Chromosoma - 1 Feb 2007

Abstract excerpt

Chromosome length in Drosophila is maintained by targeted transposition of three non-long terminal repeat retrotransposons, HeT-A, TART, and TAHRE, to the chromosome ends. The length and composition of these retrotransposon arrays can vary significantly between chromosome tips and between fly stocks, but the significance and consequences of these length differences are not understood. A dominant genetic factor,...
