Before revision:  We have characterized yeast telomere chromatin structure, phenotypic heritability, and telosome segregation in both wild-type [MRE11] and a specific class of mre11 mutants. Wild-type strains confer a telomere size of 300 bp of G+T simple sequence DNA . This DNA  is embedded in a telosome: a micrococcal nuclease-resistant non-nucleosomal particle.
