Abstract

Centromeres and telomeres are both composed of specific DNA sequences and unique chromosomal proteins. Isolation and characterization of some of these sequences and proteins has greatly increased our knowledge of centromere and telomere structure. This information is allowing us to determine how centromeres and telomeres perform their various roles in a cell.
