title: All's well that ends well.
abstract: A recent Cold Spring Harbour meeting(*) reviewed the latest progress on telomeres (the specialized structures that form the ends of chromosomes) and telomerase (the enzyme primarily responsible for their replication). Among the many aspects of telomere biology covered were strong sessions elaborating telomere replication and length regulation, telomerase structure and function, end-binding and telomere-associated proteins, DNA-damage-response proteins and telomerase-independent telomere maintenance.
