Below is an overview of the sequences that are included within the database grouped by component, telomerase RNA (TR), reverse transcriptase (TERT), associated proteins, and the telomere sequences. The sequences are further organized by taxon. The genbank accession numbers are linked to the record at the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI). The headings of each table are linked to additional pages within the database detailing each sequence.
