Citation
Description Analysis of telomeres within the plant order Asparagales has shown a remarkable polymorphism of telomere DNA sequences. In association with a phylogenetic tree of Asparagales, these results show original typical plant telomeric repeats [TTTAGGG]n have been partially or fully replaced by the human-type telomeric sequence [TTTAGGG]n in a distinct clade within Asparagales.
