摘要：

Telomeres are crucial for maintaining the integrity of the genome. Several alternative structures have been proposed for these caps, and understanding their biological significance is a matter of great interest. Probing of native telomeres now reveals that telomere end-binding proteins may control the formation of G-quadruplex DNA in vivo.
