G- and C strand length distribution. (A) Features of a Euplotes telomere. (B) Comparison of the length of the telomeric G-strands from control cells (the clear bars) and aphidicolin- treated cells (black bars). For molecules with telomeres longer than 200 nucleotides (25 repeats), the number of G₄T₄ repeats represents the minimum number of repeats present. (C) Comparison of the length of the telomeric C-strands from control cells (clear bars) and aphidicolin-treated cells (black bars). The data for the control cells in panels B and C are a combination of the data mentioned in the results and in Vermeesch and Price (1994). ¹, Note the scale on the x axis is not linear. (D) Identity of the terminal nucleotides on the G- and C-strands of telomeres from untreated cells (clear bars) or aphidicolin-treated cells (black bars).
