Abstract

A network of ATM/ATR-mediated events regulates cell cycle checkpoints and genomic integrity and contributes to the processing of DNA double-strand breaks in both genomic DNA and at telomeres. In yeast and in human cells, investigators, including Takata et al. (2004), and Herbig et al., published in this issue of Molecular Cell, are beginning to decipher the signaling pathways involved at the telomeres.
