  • IN-Gel Hybridization procedure for telomeric single stranded DNA detection (Wellinger Lab, Université de Sherbrooke )
    Telomeric DNA is replicated by a special mechanism in which an enzyme called telomerase will elongate a short 3' overhang and create long, single stranded DNA at the ends of chromosomes. This enzyme requires a single stranded DNA portion as its substrate since the telomerase RNA moiety has to anneal with this DNA...

  • Telomeric Repeat Amplification Protocol (TRAP) Telomerase Assay (The Science Advisory Board)
    This protocol describes a semi-quantitative in vitro assay to detect telomerase activity. Any active telomerase present in a cell extract from detergent-lysed cells will add a variable number of telomeric repeats (TTAGGG) to the 3' end of a substrate oligonucleotide. PCR that incorporates a radiolabeled nucleotide is then used to amplify the extension products. The presence of telomerase in the cell extracts is assessed by the appearance of a ladder of PCR products on a native polyacrylamide gel.
