Modulation of Telomeres in Alternative Lengthening of Telomeres Type I Like Human Cells by the Expression of Werner Protein and Telomerase

Table 1

WRN and telomerase expression decreases sister telomere loss (STL) in AG11395. Fifteen metaphases per cell line were analyzed. P values indicated are from the Wilcoxon two-sided ranks test, comparing the WRN and telomerase-expressing clones to the pooled empty vector-infected controls.
