Integration of telomere sequences with the draft human genome sequence

Explore this paper's citation graph

Summary

This work uses specialized linear yeast artificial chromosome clones, each carrying a large telomere-terminal fragment of human DNA, to integrate most human telomeres with the working draft sequence, indicating that human subtelomeric regions are not simply buffers of nonfunctional ‘junk DNA’ next to the moleculartelomere, but are instead functional parts of the expressed genome.
