Abstract excerpt
Telomeres, found at chromosomal ends, are essential for stable maintenance of linear chromosomes in eukaryotes. The ATM family of genes, including budding yeast TEL1 (refs 1,2), fission yeast rad3+ (ref. 3) and human ATM (ref. 4), have been reported to be involved in telomere length regulation, although the significance of the telomere phenotypes observed with the mutated genes remains elusive. We have cloned...
