GONUTS is under stress! The website is currently experiencing long-wait times and frequent time-outs due to the record number of students, groups, and annotations related to CACAO this semester. We are currently working on increasing performance -- please accept our apologies for the technical difficulties.
You can help reduce stress on the server by:
- not reloading pages frequently - this just adds
- opening links in new windows (so you can read the old page)
Category:GO:0005696 ! telomere
This GO term has been obsoleted.
Do not annotate to it.
id: GO:0005696
name: telomere
namespace: cellular_component
def: "OBSOLETE. A complex of DNA and protein that seals the end of a chromosome. The telomeric DNA consists of simple tandemly repeated sequences specific for each species. Typically one strand is G-rich and the other C-rich. The G-rich strand forms a 3'-terminal overhang, the length of which varies with species. The single strand overhang is bound by a variety of proteins, including telomere capping proteins that bind to the single-stranded DNA." [ISBN:0198506732, PMID:11352055]
comment: This term was made obsolete because the definition was too sequence oriented and too restrictive.
is_obsolete: true
consider: GO:0000781 ! chromosome, telomeric region
consider: GO:0000782 ! telomere cap complex
