Abstract:
Telomere functions vary as the cell cycle progresses. Recent results highlight fluctuating associations between telomeres and DNA polymerases, DNA-damage repair proteins, and centrosome components. These associations reflect diverse roles of telomeres in chromosome maintenance and in the orchestration of chromosome movements during meiosis.
