By definition, telomeric sequences are located at the very ends or terminal regions of chromosomes. However, several vertebrate species show blocks of (TTAGGG)n repeats present in non-terminal regions of chromosomes, the ...

We analyzed the behavior of interstitial telomeric sequences (ITSs) in the progeny of Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cells exposed to the radiomimetic compound bleomycin (BLM) in order to determine if ITSs play some role in ...

Telomeres are specialised nucleoproteic complexes localised at the physical ends of linear eukaryotic chromosomes that maintain their stability and integrity. In vertebrate chromosomes, the DNA component of telomeres is ...

We analyzed the induction of chromosomal aberrations in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells exposed to the radiomimetic compound streptonigrin (SN), in order to determine whether interstitial telomeric sequences (ITSs) are ...

Characidium comprises several species of small freshwater fish that display conserved diploid chromosome numbers and karyotypic formulae. In this study, a comparative cytogenetic analysis using telomeric DNA probes was ...
