REPLICOMETER. “Telomeric shortening appears to be the replicometer that determines the number of times that a normal cell is able to divide. Once a threshold number of telomeric (TTAGGG) repeats is reached, downstream events presumably are triggered that signal the cessation of DNA replication. Wright and Shay have offered an alternative explanation of how telomere shortening acts as a replicometer.”
