Telomere organization and the interstitial telomeric sites involvement in insects and vertebrates chromosome evolution

Abstract Telomere has a central role in chromosomal stability events. Chromosome ends organized in telomere-loop prevent activation of DNA damage response (DDR) mechanisms, thus keeping the chromosome structure organized. On the other hand, free chromosome ends, dysfunctional telomeres, and intersti...
