Robust Binding Capability and Occasional Gene Loss of Telomere-Binding Proteins Underlying Telomere Evolution in Nematoda

The paper investigates how telomere repeats evolved in nematodes despite the specificity of telomere-binding proteins, finding that protein conservation and binding affinity correlate with the emergence of novel telomeric motifs.
