Within the genome, long telomeres are more informative than short telomeres with respect to fitness components in a long‐lived seabird

26 Nov 2013

Abstract excerpt

Telomeres, DNA-protein structures at chromosome ends, shorten with age, and telomere length has been linked to age-related diseases and survival. In vitro studies revealed that the shortest telomeres trigger cell senescence, but whether the shortest telomeres are also the best biomarker of ageing is not known. We measured telomeres in erythrocytes of wild common terns Sterna hirundo using terminal restriction...
