Currently there are 56 species, 33 vertebrates, 1 fungus, and 22 ciliates, for which the secondary structures of the RNA component of telomerase (TR) have been determined. These structures were constructed from the alignment of TR sequences and secondary structure prediction. Presented within the secondary structure is the primary sequence, baseparing confirmed by covariation, labeled template and pseudoknot, conserved regions, and the various domains. Where applicable, a reference citation to the original article that is linked to the online journal. The structures are organized by taxonomy. The view button will open a separate browser window with a .jpg of the secondary structure requested. Renderings of the secondary structures are available for download in high quality .pdf as well as .jpg formats.
