Identification and comparative analysis of telomerase RNAs from <i>Candida</i> species reveal conservation of functional elements
17 Feb 2009
Abstract excerpt
The RNA component of telomerase (telomerase RNA; TER) varies substantially both in sequence composition and size (from approximately 150 nucleotides [nt] to >1500 nt) across species. This dramatic divergence has hampered the identification of TER genes and a large-scale comparative analysis of TER sequences and structures among distantly related species. To identify by phylogenetic analysis conserved sequences...
