Class

The telomeric repeat is a repeat region, part of the chromosome, which in yeast, is a G-rich terminal sequence of the form (TG(1-3))n or more precisely ((TG)(1-6)TG(2-3))n.

The repeats are maintained by telomerase and there is generally 300 (+/-) 75 bp of TG(1-3) at a given end. Telomeric repeats function in completing chromosome replication and protecting the ends from degradation and end-to-end fusions. This term was requested 2009-10-16 by Michel Dumontier, tracker id 2880739.
