Nonradioactive Telomere Length Assay protocol
Telomeres are specialized DNA-proteinstructures found at the ends of eukaryoticchromosomes. Telomeric DNA consistsof small, tandemly repeated DNA se-quences (e.g., human repeat sequence,TTAGGG). These G-rich sequences arehighly conserved during evolution. T ...
