Identification of a nonprocessive telomerase activity from mouse cells.
Telomerase activity was identified in extracts from several different mouse cell lines. Addition of telomeric TTAGGG repeats was specific to telomeric oligonucleotide primers an...
Telomere length predicts replicative capacity of human fibroblasts.
When human fibroblasts from different donors are grown in vitro, only a small fraction of the variation in their finite replicative capacity is explained by the chronological ag...
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...
A highly conserved repetitive DNA sequence, (TTAGGG)n, present at the telomeres of human chromosomes.
A highly conserved repetitive DNA sequence, (TTAGGG)n, has been isolated from a human recombinant repetitive DNA library. Quantitative hybridization to chromosomes sorted by flo...
