Telomerase RNA Exploits Introns to Ensure Germline Immortality
Researchers from Waseda University have made a groundbreaking discovery regarding the role of telomerase RNA in ensuring germline immortality in nematodes. According to the study, the telomerase RNA component 1 (TR1) is expressed as an intronic long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) embedded in an intron of a germline-up-regulated gene. This intron
