AmiGO 2: Term Details for "telomere maintenance via telomere trimming" (GO:0090737)

Accession: GO:0090737
Name: telomere maintenance via telomere trimming
Ontology: biological_process
Synonyms: None
Alternate IDs: None
Definition: A process that contributes to the maintenance of proper telomeric length and structure via the activation of telomere shortening pathways that compensate telomerase-dependent excessive telomere elongation. Telomere attrition is mediated by a mechanism which involves the generation of single-stranded C-rich telomeric DNA, and the formation and removal of double-stranded telomeric circular DNA (T-circles). Telomere trimming is an independent pathway to recombination-mediated telomere elongation and the well-documented gradual telomere attrition that accompanies cellular replication.
