Measurement of Telomeric DNA Content in Human Tissues

Telomeres, nucleoprotein complexes at the ends of eukaryotic chromosomes, are 10–12 kbp in length in somatic cells, but as small as 1–2 kbp in rapidly growing cancer cells. Southern blot analysis is currently the standard method for the measurement of telomere length. However, accurate determination...
