Nanopore sequencing measures chromosome end-specific telomere lengths in human cells
Telomere length has a significant impact on human health. Short telomeres cause age-related diseases, including pulmonary fibrosis, immunodeficiency, and bone marrow failure, while long telomeres predispose to cancer. Given the impact on human health, accurately measuring telomere length is important. A variety of methods have been developed over the past 40 years to measure telomere length. Many…
