Exposure to oxychlordane is associated with shorter telomeres in arctic breeding kittiwakes [PDF]
Science of the Total Environment, 2016 Telomeres are DNA-protein complexes located at the end of chromosomes, which play an important role in maintaining the genomic integrity. Telomeres shorten at each cell division and previous studies have shown that telomere length is related to health and lifespan and can be affected by a wide range of environmental factors. Among them, some persistent
