<i>Pneumocystis carinii</i> telomere repeats are composed of TTAGGG and the subtelomeric sequence contains a gene encoding the major surface glycoprotein
1 Jan 1996
Abstract excerpt
We have cloned a telomere and adjacent sequences from rat-derived Pneumocystis carinii using the ability of foreign telomeres to complement a yeast artificial chromosome (YAC) deficient by one telomere in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Characterization of the cloned DNA in the recombinant YAC demonstrated that it was a chimera of two P. carinii sequences, namely a 13.5 kb fragment of mitochondrial DNA and an 8.3 kb...
