Telomeres protect eukaryotic chromosomes; variation in telomere length has been linked (primarily in homoeothermic animals) to variation in stress, cellular ageing, and disease risk. Moreover, telomer
a The actual telomere length was 30 kb attached to the Chromosome 1. b The default TelSeq read length. c For 36 nt read lengths, estimation of telomere length by TelSeq was performed with k (threshold
The significant values are in bold and SE stands for standard error. The significance test for p<0.001 means that p is within the interval [0, 0.001]. The regression statistics of RTL and RTL length r
