MeSH Heading: Telomere Homeostasis
Tree Number(s): G04.144.220.625; G04.161.750.500.500; G05.113.610; G07.345.249.410.750.500.750
Unique ID: D059505
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D059505
Scope Note: Maintenance of TELOMERE length. During DNA REPLICATION, chromosome ends loose some of their telomere sequence (TELOMERE SHORTENING.) Various cellular mechanism are involved in repairing, extending, and recapping the telomere ends.
