The JIL-1 kinase affects telomere expression in the different telomere domains of Drosophila.

In Drosophila, the non-LTR retrotransposons HeT-A, TART and TAHRE build a head-to-tail array of repetitions that constitute the telomere domain by targeted transposition at the end of the chromosome whenever needed.
