Telomeres and telomerase: three decades of progress

Telomeres and telomerase: three decades of progress, Published online: 13 February 2019; doi:10.1038/s41576-019-0099-1

In this Timeline article, Shay and Wright provide a historical account of progress in our understanding of telomeres (the ends of linear chromosomes) and telomerase (the primary enzyme that maintains and extends telomere lengths). Their perspective covers seminal moments from the early discoveries through to our latest understanding of the roles of telomeres and telomerase in ageing, diverse human diseases and gene regulation.
