Chromatin modifiers and recombination factors promote a telomere fold-back structure, that is lost during replicative senescence.
Telomeres have the ability to adopt a lariat conformation and hence, engage in long and short distance intra-chromosome interactions. Budding yeast telomeres were proposed to fold back into subtelomeric regions, but a robust assay to quantitatively characterize this structure has been lacking. There...
