Abstract excerpt
To maintain genome stability, proliferating cells must enact a program of telomere maintenance. While most tumors maintain telomeres using telomerase, a subset of tumors utilize a DNA-templated process termed alternative lengthening of telomeres or ALT. ALT is associated with mutations in the ATRX/DAXX/H3.3 histone chaperone complex, which is responsible for deposition of histone variant H3.3 at heterochromatic...
