telomere capping Gene Set
Dataset
GO Biological Process Annotations 2025
Category
structural or functional annotations
Type
biological process
Description
A process in which telomeres are protected from degradation and fusion, thereby ensuring chromosome stability by protecting the ends from both degradation and from being recognized as damaged DNA. May be mediated by specific single- or double-stranded telomeric DNA binding proteins. (Gene Ontology , GO_0016233 )
