GenLink Multimedia Telomere Resource Telomeres are the physical ends of linear eukaryotic chromosomes. They are specialized nucleoprotein complexes that have important functions, primarily in the protection, replication, and stabilization of the chromosome ends. TelDB is a telomere information centre which provides new information about telomeric and subtelomeric regions of chromosomes and telomere literature references, including a user interface to the searchable telomere literature database. TelDB includes over 1100 telomere-related citations from 200 journals, covering over 80 species. Telomere and Telomerase Research Information Telomerase gene sequence data, along with a table of telomere repeats from various organisms.
Telomeres are specialized DNA-protein complex at ends of linear chromosomes.
They are essential for proper maintenance of chromosomes, and may play a role in aging and cancer. Telomerases are specialized reverse transcriptases that are involved in synthesis of telomeres in most organisms. Recommendations for the Introductory Microbiology Laboratory Core Curriculum Document describing topics and themes considered essential to teach in every introductory microbiology laboratory, regardless of its emphasis. It is derived from the views of around 150 microbiology educators from a variety of colleges and universities. It contains sections on laboratory safety, laboratory skills, laboratory thinking skills, and laboratory content.
