## Abstract The minimal vertebrate telomerase enzyme is composed of a protein component (telomerase reverse transcriptase, TERT) and an RNA component (telomerase RNA, TR). Expression of these two subunits is sufficient to reconstitute telomerase activity in vitro, while the formation of a holoenzym

DNA methylation is an epigenetic process involved in embryonic development, differentiation and aging. It is 1 of the mechanisms resulting in gene silencing in carcinogenesis, especially in tumor suppressor genes (e.g., p16, Rb). Telomerase, the DNA polymerase adding TTAGGG repeats to the chromosome
Telomerase is a ribonucleoprotein that synthesizes telomeric DNA on chromosomal ends. While telomerase is undetectable in most normal somatic tissues, telomerase activation has been detected by a polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based assay (TRAP) in many immortal cell lines and various cancers, incl
