Abstract excerpt
STUDY QUESTION: What is the distribution of telomeric repeat-containing RNA (TERRA) and of telomerase in human fetal oocytes? SUMMARY ANSWER: TERRA forms discrete foci at telomeres of human fetal oocytes and it co-localizes with both the shelterin component telomeric repeat-binding factor 2 (TRF2) and the catalytic subunit of human telomerase at the telomeres of meiotic chromosomes. WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY: TERRA...
