Tandem DNA repeats derived from the ancestral (TTAGGG) n run were first detected at
chromosome ends of the majority of living organisms, hence the name telomeric DNA …

Polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) represents a group of evolutionarily conserved
multi-subunit complexes that repress gene transcription by introducing trimethylation of …

Tandem repeats can occupy a large portion of plant genomes and can either cause or result
from chromosomal rearrangements, which are important drivers of dysploidy-mediated …

Parallel research on multiple model organisms shows that while some principles of telomere
biology are conserved among all eukaryotic kingdoms, we also find some deviations that …

Genomic architecture facilitates chromosome recognition, pairing, and recombination.
Telomeres and subtelomeres play an important role at the beginning of meiosis in specific …

The centromere is a chromosomal region where the kinetochore is formed, which is the
attachment point of spindle fibers. Thus, it is responsible for the correct chromosome …

Telomeres are structures made of DNA, proteins and RNA found at the ends of eukaryotic
linear chromosomes. These dynamic nucleoprotein structures protect chromosomal tips from …

Telomeres and genes encoding 45S ribosomal RNA (rDNA) are frequently located adjacent
to each other on eukaryotic chromosomes. Although their primary roles are different, they …

Telomeres are essential structures formed from satellite DNA repeats at the ends of
chromosomes in most eukaryotes. Satellite DNA repeat sequences are useful markers for …

Understanding how the packaging of chromatin in the nucleus is regulated and organized to
guide complex cellular and developmental programmes, as well as responses to …
