Sequences

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. The GC% content is not provided for putative/partial sequences. The GC% content has been adjusted, where necessary, to account for any adjustment to the 5' or 3' ends compared to the NCBI record, numbers in parentheses. The headings at the top of each table are linked to more detailed information for sequence for the particular telomerase component. The heading is omitted, in white, where there are currently no known sequences.
