What is recorded here?
Identified an activity in Tetrahymena cell-free extracts that added tandem telomeric repeats to suitable primers and proposed its role in chromosome-end replication.
Source-linked catalogue note. A detailed explanatory guide has not yet been prepared for this entry.
Scientific scope
The record is the exact two-author 1985 Cell paper. It reports biochemical activity in Tetrahymena extracts, not a human therapy or a complete account of telomerase composition, regulation, disease roles or later telomere biology.
