Escape from replicative crisis and immortalization precedes complex genome evolution
Shortening of telomeres restricts the proliferative capacity of human somatic cells by inducing replicative senescence and crisis. During cancerous transformation, premalignant cells must overcome these barriers and acquire replicative immortality. Single-cell DNA strand-specific genome sequencing of crisis cells revealed extreme genome instability characterized by complex chromosomal…
