Single-Molecule Telomere Assay via Optical Mapping (SMTA-OM) Can Potentially Define the ALT Positivity of Cancer
16 Jun 2023
Abstract excerpt
Telomeres play an essential role in protecting the ends of linear chromosomes and maintaining the integrity of the human genome. One of the key hallmarks of cancers is their replicative immortality. As many as 85-90% of cancers activate the expression of telomerase (TEL+) as the telomere maintenance mechanism (TMM), and 10-15% of cancers utilize the homology-dependent repair (HDR)-based Alternative Lengthening of...
