name: telomeric DNA-containing double minutes formation
namespace: biological_process
def: "A telomere maintenance process that results in the formation of small fragments of circular extrachromosomal DNA elements which contain telomeric DNA. It is speculated that telomeric DNA-containing double minutes are formed through a recombination event between the telomere and chromosome-internal TTAGGG-like sequences. Telomeric DNA-containing double minutes appear as two closely positioned dots in metaphase." [GOC:BHF, GOC:BHF_telomere, GOC:nc, PMID:14690602, PMID:2397458]
