Abstract excerpt
The chromatin organization of eukaryotic telomeres is essential for telomeric function and is currently receiving great attention. In yeast, the structural organization of telomeres involves a complex interplay of telomeric proteins that results in the formation of heterochromatin. This telomeric...
