Abstract:Background The telomere G-tail, located at the terminal 3’-end, plays an important role in the maintenance of chromosome stability. Telomere G-tail length has been shown to be related to the presence of various cancers; however, the association between telomere G-tail length and breast cancer has remained unclear. Methods We measured the length of the leukocyte telomere G-tail using the hybridization protection assay, which has the advantages of being simple to perform, accurate and highly sensitive for G-tail… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
