Gametes deficient for Pot1 telomere binding proteins alter levels of telomeric foci for multiple generations
Lister-Shimauchi et al. find that gametes from mutants that lack the genes encoding telomere binding proteins POT-1 or POT-2 affect the levels of POT1 telomere foci in progeny, in opposite ways, for multiple generations and that gametes deficient in heterochromatin formation reduce POT1 foci. These...
