TelomereHunter – in silico estimation of telomere content and composition from cancer genomes

Abstract Background Establishment of telomere maintenance mechanisms is a universal step in tumor development to achieve replicative immortality. These processes leave molecular footprints in cancer genomes in the form of altered telomere content and aberrations in telomere composition. To retrieve...
