In most eukaryotes, telomeres are formed by tandem arrays of short G/C-rich repeats. The telomeric G-rich strand is always oriented with its 3' end towards chromosome termini and forms short single-stranded protrusions called G-overhangs. Telomeres distinguish the ends of native chromosomes from harmful DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs). This is achieved by assembling chromosome termini in elaborate high-order nucleoprotein structures that, in most organisms, encompass telomeric DNA, specific telomere-associated proteins, and general chromatin and DNA repair factors.
