The restriction endonuclease Tru9I is a useful tool to analyze telomere sequences separately from interstitial telomeric sequences in Arabidopsis thaliana

We have previously described a simple method to analyze the chromatin structure of Arabidopsis te- lomeres independently of that of Interstitial Telome- ric Sequences (ITSs). By using this method, we found that, whereas ITSs are heterochromatic, Arabidopsis telomeres exhibit euchromatic features [1]...

Sumario:We have previously described a simple method to analyze the chromatin structure of Arabidopsis te- lomeres independently of that of Interstitial Telome- ric Sequences (ITSs). By using this method, we found that, whereas ITSs are heterochromatic, Arabidopsis telomeres exhibit euchromatic features [1]. Some con- cerns have been recently raised about the accuracy of this procedure [2]. Here, we summarize these concerns and justify our experimental approaches and inter- pretation of results.
