Notably, chromosomes 1D, 3D, 4D, and 5D were assembled without gaps for the first time, with chromosomes 1D and 5D reaching the telomere-to ... These centromeres are rich in retrotransposons ...

Coupling next-generation sequencing with MagIC-cryo-EM beads would help the field determine structural features of functionally distinct chromatin regions, such as heterochromatin, euchromatin, ...

In a paper under embargo in Science until 2pm ET on March 6, 2025, researchers show that transposons can target and insert themselves at the ends of linear chromosomes, called telomeres ...

It turns out that their telomeres, the ends of the chromosomes, actually grow longer when the dwarf lemurs hibernate. Typically telomeres shorten as we age, as cells continuously divide. So, what ...
