Abstract

Transcription of telomeric DNA has long been thought to inhibit telomerase. Using live cell imaging, in this issue, Cusanelli et al. (2013) now reveal a different scenario: telomeric RNA is preferentially generated at short telomeres and delivers telomerase to the chromosome end from which the transcript originated.
