Extreme telomere length dimorphism in the Tasmanian devil and related marsupials suggests parental control of telomere length.

Extreme telomere length dimorphism in the Tasmanian devil and related marsupials suggests parental control of telomere length.

Telomeres, specialised structures that protect chromosome ends, play a critical role in preserving chromosome integrity.
