Named for the ferrule-like sequences at the end of chromosomes (in humans the sequence is TTAGGG), which, by growing shorter with each replication, limit the maximum number of divisions possible for a cell. Telomere is part of a series that began with DNA and includes White Allele, Dark Matters, and Chromos-one.
