Extreme telomere length dimorphism in the Tasmanian devil and related marsupials suggests parental control of telomere length

Telomeres, specialised structures that protect chromosome ends, play a critical role in preserving chromosome integrity. Telomere dynamics in the Tasmanian devil (Sarcophilus harrisii) are of particular interest in light of the emergence of devil facial tumour disease (DFTD), a transmissible maligna...
