Editing Telomere (section)

== Sequences ==
Experimentally verified and predicted telomere sequence motifs from more than 9000 species are collected in research community curated database [http://cfb.ceitec.muni.cz/telobase/ TeloBase].<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Lyčka |first1=Martin |last2=Bubeník |first2=Michal |last3=Závodník |first3=Michal |last4=Peska |first4=Vratislav |last5=Fajkus |first5=Petr |last6=Demko |first6=Martin |last7=Fajkus |first7=Jiří |last8=Fojtová |first8=Miloslava |date=2023-08-21 |title=TeloBase: a community-curated database of telomere sequences across the tree of life |url=https://doi.org/10.1093/nar/gkad672 |journal=Nucleic Acids Research |volume=52 |issue=D1 |pages=D311–D321 |doi=10.1093/nar/gkad672 |issn=0305-1048 |pmc=10767889 |pmid=37602392}}</ref> Some of the experimentally verified telomere [[nucleotide]] sequences are also listed in [http://telomerase.asu.edu/sequences_telomere.html Telomerase Database] website (see [[nucleic acid notation]] for letter representations).
