Evidence for genomic regulation of the telomeric activity in Drosophila melanogaster.
The structural integrity of TART elements has been used as reporter of instability at chromosomal ends in numerous Drosophila stocks and over time in an unstable stock. The results show that telomeric activity is a regulated process that may differ between the stocks as well as over time within a stock.
