  2. 1. Telomeric DNA in Chironomus, a naturally telomerase-free system

    Author : Monika Rosén; Udo Häckers grupp Utvecklingsbiologi i invertebrater; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Biology; Chironomus; extrachromosomal telomeric repeats; RNA-DNA complex; 3´overhang; telocentric chromosome end; Telomere; complex repeats; Biologi; Genetics; cytogenetics; Genetik; cytogenetik;

    Abstract : Telomeres are specialized complexes of DNA and associated proteins that protect the ends of eukaryotic chromosomes. Although most organisms have short repeated DNA sequences at their telomeres, which are specified and maintained by the enzyme telomerase, there are a few exceptions. READ MORE

  4. 2. Repetitive DNA in search of a function - a study of telomeric and centromeric sequences in Chironomus

    Author : Casimiro Castillejo-Lopez; Udo Häckers grupp Utvecklingsbiologi i invertebrater; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Chironomus; CENP-B box; mobile elements; reverse transcriptase; gene conversion; satellite; repetitive DNA; Telomere; centromere; Genetics; cytogenetics; Genetik; cytogenetik;

    Abstract : Repetitive DNA is quantitatively the main component of telomeres and centromeres, structures responsible for maintenance of the eukaryotic chromosome. The telomere is the specialized nucleoprotein complex that terminates linear chromosomes. READ MORE

  5. 3. Classes of DNA associated with telomeres in the chironomids C. pallidivittatus and C. tentans

    Author : Iréne Kamnert; Biologiska institutionen; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Genetics; Chironomus; subtelomere; gene conversion; subfamilies; telomere; complex repeats; cytogenetics; Genetik; cytogenetik;

    Abstract : Telomeres in Chironomus consist of long complex tandem DNA repeats, which in C. pallidivittatus have been shown to extend to the extreme end of chromosomes. In C. pallidivittatus the telomeric repeats are present in large blocks, 50-200kb in size, most of them belonging to four major subfamilies. READ MORE
