Telomeres
Telomeres, at the terminal regions of chromosomes, are comprised of TTAGGG DNA repeats and intricate multiprotein complexes referred to as shelterin. They serve as protective caps of chromosomal ends and maintain genomic stability. The attrition of telomere length has been linked to the aging process in humans.
