Telomouse—a mouse model with human-length telomeres generated by a single amino acid change in RTEL1
Abstract Telomeres, the ends of eukaryotic chromosomes, protect genome integrity and enable cell proliferation. Maintaining optimal telomere length in the germline and throughout life limits the risk of cancer and enables healthy aging. Telomeres in the house mouse, Mus musculus, are about five time...
