Eroded telomeres are rearranged in quiescent fission yeast cells through duplications of subtelomeric sequences

How both telomere stability is regulated and dysfunctional telomeres processed in quiescent cells is poorly understood. Here, the authors provide evidence that eroded telomeres in quiescent fission yeast are rearranged by homologous recombination through duplications of subtelomeric sequences.
