Critically short telomeres derepress retrotransposons to promote genome instability in embryonic stem cells
Abstract Telomeres, at the ends of chromosomes, protect chromosomes from fusion and preserve genomic stability. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying telomere attrition-induced genome instability remain to be understood. We systematically analyzed the expression of retrotransposons and perfor...
