Telomeres are the ends of chromosomes. They consist of repetitive sequences that vary in length between species and individuals. With each cell division, telomeres shorten due to oxidative stress and the inability of DNA polymerase to fully replicate them (end replication problem). Several means to lengthen telomeres have been observed; in humans, two methods exist: the telomerase enzyme and the recombination-based alternative lengthening of telomeres (ALT). Telomeres play a significant role in cancer development and stem cell aging.

Get the Telkamp mug.The shittiest ISP that ever touched the earth. Don't try to play a videogame while you have telekom, you'll not have any fun at all, don't try to watch videos, they won't load, not even fucking minesweeper works when you use this piece of crap. If you want to try out telekom, be prepared to have 900 fucking ping AT BEST on all videogames, I'm not fucking kidding, and their costumer support literally hangs up when you call them.

My roommate was being really loud and annoying as usual, so I TELoMP'ed her with several conversations I saved up for the specific purpose of surviving such an onslaught of rudeness.
