Abstract
We have made rapid progress in recent years in identifying the genetic causes of many human diseases. However, despite this recent progress, our mechanistic understanding of these diseases is often incomplete. This is a problem because it limits our ...Read More

Conservation of the human telomere sequence (TTAGGG)n among vertebrates.
To determine the evolutionary origin of the human telomere sequence (TTAGGG)n, biotinylated oligodeoxynucleotides of this sequence were hybridized to metaphase spreads from 91 d...
Telomere shortening in renal cell carcinoma.
The ends of human chromosomes consist of a specialized structure, the telomere, composed of repeats of TTAGGG making up a total of 5-15 kilobase pairs, depending on age and prol...
