A novel mechanism for telomere size control in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Abstract excerpt

One of the central requirements for eukaryotic chromosome stability is the maintenance of the simple sequence tracts at telomeres. In this study, we use genetic and physical assays to reveal the nature of a novel mechanism by which telomere length is controlled. This mechanism, telomeric rapid de...
