Chromosome Ends Trigger DNA Damage Response For Telomere Protection

... a full complement of chromosomes would inevitably rip the fused chromosomes apart. The researchers assert that fusion breakage cycles scramble the genome over time, and cause genome instability, which is a hallmark of cancer cells, and this demonstrates the importance of telomeres in preserving genome...
