Alternative Lengthening of Telomeres and Mediated Telomere Synthesis
Telomeres are DNA–protein complexes that protect eukaryotic chromosome ends from being erroneously repaired by the DNA damage repair system, and the length of telomeres indicates the replicative potential of the cell. Telomeres shorten during each division of the cell, resulting in telomeric damage...
