Variability at the Telomeres of the Human X/Y Pseudoautosomal Region

Abstract

It has been evident for some time that the telomeres (ends) of eukaryotic hromosomes must have proper-ties that fulfill a number of functional requirements. For example, unlike ends of chromosome fragments, telomeres protect he natural chromosome end against fusion with other chromosome ends. They are often associated with the nuclear envelope. They pose a rep-lication problem for the cell since all known DNA po-lymerases require a primer and synthesize only in the 5'--'3 ' direction. This implies that without a special structure, only one daughter chromosome would be completely replicated, the other being shortened, com-pared with the parental chromosome, by excision of a primer. This hortening would occur at each cell divi-sion and could presumably not be tolerated beyond a

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Telomere length determines how many divisions a cell can undergo before senescence.

    “Indeed, it has been proposed that telomere length speci®es the number of cell divisions a cell can undergo prior to senescence (Cooke and Smith, 1986;Harley, 1991).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
