Telomeres in the mouse have large inter-chromosomal variations in the number of T <sub>2</sub> AG <sub>3</sub> repeats
8 Jul 1997
Abstract excerpt
The ultra-long telomeres that have been observed in mice are not in accordance with the concept that critical telomere shortening is related to aging and immortalization. Here, we have used quantitative fluorescence in situ hybridization to estimate (T2AG3)n lengths of individual telomeres in various mouse strains. Telomere lengths were very heterogeneous, but specific chromosomes of bone marrow cells and skin...
