Abstract excerpt
Telomeric DNA sequences are difficult to replicate. Replication forks frequently pause or stall at telomeres, which can lead to telomere truncation and dysfunction. In addition to being at chromosome ends, telomere repeats are also present at internal locations within chromosomes, known as interstitial telomeric sequences (ITSs). These sequences are unstable and prone to triggering gross chromosomal...
