Long telomere inheritance through budding yeast sexual cycles.

Abstract excerpt

The ends of linear eukaryotic chromosomes are protected from being recognized as DNA double-strand breaks by telomeres, containing repetitive DNA sequences that bind specific proteins. In humans, mutations in telomere regulatory genes lead to short or long telomere syndromes. These syndromes often show genetic anticipation, where the disease has an earlier onset and a more severe manifestation in each new...
