<i>TelNet</i> - a database for human and yeast genes involved in telomere maintenance
2017-04-27
Abstract excerpt
The ends of linear chromosomes, the telomeres, comprise repetitive DNA sequences that are protected by the shelterin protein complex. Cancer cells need to extend these telomere repeats for their unlimited proliferation, either by reactivating the reverse transcriptase telomerase or by using the alternative lengthening of telomeres (ALT) pathway. The different telomere maintenance (TM) mechanisms appear to involve...
