Telomeres of polytene chromosomes in a ciliated protozoan terminate in duplex DNA loops [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1999 The end of a telomeric DNA sequence isolated from a polytene chromosome of a hypotrichous ciliate folds back and hybridizes with downstream telomeric sequence to form a t loop that is stable in the absence of protein and DNA cross-linking. The single-stranded, telomeric DNA sequence at the end of a macronuclear molecule does not form a t loop but ...
