Presence of telomeric G‐strand tails in the telomerase catalytic subunit TERT knockout mice

Telomerase consists of two essential subunits, the template RNA (TR; telomerase RNA) and the catalytic subunit TERT (telomerase reverse transcriptase). Knockout mice with a mTR (mouse TR) deletion have been described and well characterized. However, mice with a mTERT (mouse TERT) deletion have not been reported.
