title: Telomeres of the human X and Y chromosomes.
abstract: Analysis of the nature of the DNA sequences at the telomeres of the short arms of the human sex chromosomes suggests parallels with the structures found at telomeres of a number of lower eukaryotes. The exact nature of the end of the DNA has not yet been established but it is clear that there are multiple levels of variability both between and within individuals in this region of the genome.
