Abstract excerpt
Telomeres gradually shorten at each cell division, and telomerase counteracts this shortening by elongating telomere sequences. This dynamic balance between elongation and shortening results in a steady-state telomere length (TL) distribution. Here, we develop a method for detecting telomeric sequences in Saccharomyces cerevisiae genomes from raw Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT) sequencing reads, providing a...
