All my additions are referred with peer-viewed publications. I believe the new sequences illustrate better the real variability of telomere motifs in insects and the links to the database and the analyzer will help in deeper searchesundoTag: Visual edit

I think Blackburn was awarded the nobel prize for expounding upon the protective functions of telomeres and perhaps for discovering the enzyme telomerase, but she did not discover telomeres.undo
