Rapid telomere motions in live human cells analyzed by highly time-resolved microscopy
27 Oct 2008
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Telomeres cap chromosome ends and protect the genome. We studied individual telomeres in live human cancer cells. In capturing telomere motions using quantitative imaging to acquire complete high-resolution three-dimensional datasets every second for 200 seconds, telomere dynamics were systematically analyzed. RESULTS: The motility of individual telomeres within the same cancer cell nucleus was widely...
