Telomere length heterogeneity in placenta revealed with high-resolution telomere length analysis
20 Sept 2017
Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Telomeres, are composed of tandem repeat sequences located at the ends of chromosomes and are required to maintain genomic stability. Telomeres can become shorter due to cell division and specific lifestyle factors. Critically shortened telomeres are linked to cellular dysfunction, senescence and aging. A number of studies have used low resolution techniques to assess telomere length in the...
