Abstract excerpt
Telomerase regulation, including TERT promoter methylation, has been of long-standing interest to cancer biologists. Rowland et al. have now vastly expanded their ongoing characterization of TERT promoter methylation in cancer cells, analyzing the methylation patterns of 833 cell lines from 23 human cancers. They document a highly conserved pattern of hypomethylation around the proximal promoter, as well as a...
