Unusual Telomeric DNAs in Human Telomerase-Negative Immortalized Cells
18 Nov 2008
Abstract excerpt
A significant fraction of human cancer cells and immortalized cells maintain telomeres in a telomerase-independent manner called alternative lengthening of telomeres (ALT). It has been suggested that ALT involves homologous recombination that is expected to generate unique intermediate DNAs. However, the precise molecular mechanism of ALT is not known. To gain insight into how telomeric DNAs (T-DNAs) are...
