Damage control
Article Abstract:
Researchers have provided clues on how the DNA-repair machinery distinguishes the chemical composition of normal DNA at the end of chromosomes and the chemical composition at the damaged and broken DNA within chromosomes. The telomeres have adopted different structures to either prevent or activate ATM- and ATM-mediated signalling, which, in turn, might either inhibit or activate cellular senescence, non-homologous end-joining or telomerase.

The DNA sequence and comparative analysisof human chromosome 10
Article Abstract:
A clone map stretching the euchromatic regions of the short and long arm of human chromosome was assembled by restriction finger print and sequence-tagged-site (STS). The sequence assembly consists all known chromosome 10 messenger RNAs and STS markers.

The DNA sequence and analysis of human chromosome 6
Article Abstract:
Chromosome 6 is a metacentric chromosome that constitutes about 6% of the human genome. The entire sequence has been subjected to high quality manual annotation, resulting in the evidence-supported identification of 1,557 genes and 633 pseudogenes.
