Telomeric repeat-containing RNA TERRA: a noncoding RNA connecting telomere biology to genome integrity
14 Apr 2015
Abstract excerpt
Telomeres are dynamic nucleoprotein structures that protect the ends of chromosomes from degradation and activation of DNA damage response. For this reason, telomeres are essential to genome integrity. Chromosome ends are enriched in heterochromatic marks and proper organization of telomeric chromatin is important to telomere stability. Despite their heterochromatic state, telomeres are transcribed giving rise to...
