Telomerase deficiency affects the formation of chromosomal translocations by homologous recombination in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
Telomerase is a ribonucleoprotein complex required for the replication and protection of telomeric DNA in eukaryotes. Cells lacking telomerase undergo a progressive loss of telomeric DNA that results in loss of viability and a concomitant increase in genome instability. We have used budding yeast to...
