Abstract
Telomeres, the nucleoprotein "caps" protecting the ends of linear chromosomes, are maintained by telomerase. Telomeres have important roles in maintaining genomic stability and preventing senescence or oncogenesis. Chicken is a classical model animal for genetic and developmental studies. With further development of chicken genomics, great progress has been made in research of chicken telomere and telomerase. This review describes recent advances and future research directions in chicken telomere biology.
