Increasing the accuracy and precision of relative telomere length estimates by RT qPCR

14 Aug 2017

Abstract excerpt

As attrition of telomeres, DNA caps that protect chromosome integrity, is accelerated by various forms of stress, telomere length (TL) has been proposed as an indicator of lifetime accumulated stress. In ecological studies, it has been used to provide insights into ageing, life history trade-offs, the costs of reproduction and disease. qPCR is a high-throughput and cost-effective tool to measure relative TL (rTL)...
