What is another word for subtelomeric telomere-associated dna?
Pronunciation: [sˌʌbtɪlə͡ʊmˈɛɹɪk tˈɛlə͡ʊməɹɐsˈə͡ʊsɪˌe͡ɪtɪd dˌiːˌɛnˈe͡ɪ] (IPA) 
Subtelomeric telomere-associated DNA refers to the genetic material located near the end regions of chromosomes that is associated with telomeres. Synonyms for this term include subtelomeric DNA, telomere-proximal DNA, and telomere-adjacent DNA. These terms all refer to the same genetic material that is involved in regulating telomere function and protecting chromosomes from degradation. Subtelomeric DNA contains important regulatory elements that control gene expression and play a role in the development of certain genetic disorders. Understanding the function and regulation of subtelomeric DNA is key to understanding the complex interplay between chromosome structure, gene expression, and disease.
