Abstract excerpt
Some human cancers maintain their telomeres using the alternative lengthening of telomeres (ALT) mechanism; a process thought to involve recombination. Different types of recombinational telomere elongation pathways have been identified in yeasts. In senescing yeast telomerase deletion (ter1-Delta) mutants with very short telomeres, it has been hypothesized that copying a tiny telomeric circle (t-circle) by a...
