DNA dynamics: different means to a common end?
A ribosomal frameshift is required for the synthesis of an essential component of the yeast telomerase pathway; this and other findings on telomerases from many species raise interesting questions regarding the evolutionary relationship between telomerases and retrotransposons lacking long terminal repeats.
