Fig. 3. STAR assay measures ECTR in ALT-positive samples.

Fig. 3

(A) Schematic illustrating how the presence of ECTR (red) in an ALT positive sample will increase the absolute number of physical copies of telomeres being measured by digital PCR. (B) Line graph showing the number of compartments containing telomere molecules, as measured using the STAR assay, while the bar chart shows the C-circle assay when performed for the same samples. Both assays show similar trends. AU, arbitrary units.
