  4. 3. Role of PARN gene in telomere maintenance in a zebrafish model

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Spandana Tharanath Kotian; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The telomeres are highly conserved repetitive DNA sequence elements present at the ends of linear chromosome. These structures function as a biological clock of the cell since telomeres become shorter with each replication cycle and finally reach a critical threshold in their length after which the cell enters senescence.
