TARPON is a Nextflow pipeline for analyzing telomeres sequenced on Nanopore, providing a user-friendly interface and customizable analysis for various applications.

The paper determines the secondary structure of S. pombe telomerase RNA (TER1) and shows it functions as a flexible scaffold for the telomerase RNP.

The paper investigates facultative parthenogenesis in whiptail lizards, showing that post-meiotic mechanisms, not polar body fusion, cause genome-wide homozygosity and explains associated genetic consequences.

The paper identifies key Rap1 amino acid positions that inhibit telomere end fusions, showing longer telomeres are more prone to fusion when these sites are mutated.

The paper identifies two new proteins, Thc1 and Bmc1, that function with Pof8 in telomerase biogenesis by recognizing folded telomerase RNA and facilitating complex assembly.

This paper reports genome-wide ChIP data showing Upf1 associates with active genes in S. pombe, correlating with Pol II transcription and mRNA levels, and reveals transcriptional defects in Upf1-deficient cells.
