With the huge amount of growth and development our babies and children experience, sleep is not an optional extra, but ...

Telomeres are TTAGGG repetitive sequences that cap the ends of eukaryotic chromosomes. A core of telomere binding proteins, termed the shelterin complex, serve to protect telomeric ends.

Human cells with long telomeres (left) and short telomeres (right). Top and lower panels show cells in interphase and in metaphase, respectively. Disclaimer: AAAS and EurekAlert! are not ...

When telomeres reduce to critically short lengths, they become unable to bind adequate telomere-capping proteins. 7 This condition of exposed DNA ends triggers the DNA damage response pathway, which ...

For instance, the telomeres on chromosome 1's short arm (1p) differed by more than six kilobases between its two parts, 1pM and 1pP — the maternal (M) and paternal (P) chromosomes, respectively.

Telomeres are DNA proteins that help protect chromosomes and cells. Short telomeres are associated with older age, and longer telomeres with a younger biological clock and better health outcomes.

The researchers generated de novo assemblies (with no previous reference model) of the complete genome of two cryptodiran ...

Fred Below, University of Illinois professor of crop physiology, says short-stature corn could provide growers a leg up on these types of conditions. “I won’t tell you short corn won’t fall ...
