Schematic illustration of ALT-mediated telomere elongation. In ALT, Holliday-junctions (HJ) are formed between two sister telomeres (blue circle) or between one telomere and extra-telomeric DNA and the telomeres are elongated by homologous recombination (HR). This reaction often occurs inside promyelocytic leukemia nuclear bodies (PML-NBs).
