Origin and Evolution of Telomeres (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Linear chromosomes represent an evolutionary innovation associated with the origin of eukaryotic cells. This book describes how linear chromosomes and primordial pathways for maintaining their terminal structures, telomeres, emerged in early eukaryotes.Telomeres, derived from the Greek meaning terminal part, were first described by Hermann Muller i

Autorenporträt

Jozef Nosek PhD, DSc is an Associate Professor at the Department of Biochemistry, Faculty of Natural Sciences at Comenius University in Bratislava, Slovakia. His research interests include biology and evolution of telomeres, replication of linear mitochondrial genomes and function of their terminal structures, biogenesis of organelles, and morphogenesis of eukaryotic cells. Lubomir Tomaska, PhD, DSc, is an Associate Professor at the Department of Genetics, Faculty of Natural Sciences at Comenius University in Bratislava, Slovakia. He is interested in nucleo-protein structure of nuclear and mitochondrial telomeres, evolutionary pathways leading to different means of telomere maintenance, mitochondrial morphogenesis and inheritance and interplay between the compartments of eukaryotic cells.
