- Biochemistry, Telomere And Telomerase - StatPearls - NCBI BookshelfTelomeres are protein structures located at the ends of each eukaryotic DNA chromosomal arm. These chromosomal caps are 1 of the most important structures that preserve the structural integrity of linear DNA during each cycle of replication.[1]
- Telomere - WikipediaTelomeres are non-coding, repetitive sequences located at the termini of linear chromosomes to act as buffers for those coding sequences further behind. They "cap" the end-sequences and are progressively degraded in the process of DNA replication.
- TelomereTelomeres protect the ends of chromosomes from becoming frayed or tangled. Each time a cell divides, the telomeres become slightly shorter. Eventually, they become so short that the cell can no longer divide successfully, and the cell dies.
