Understanding Telomeres and Their Role in Genomic Stability

Telomeres are nucleoprotein structures that cap chromosome ends, protecting them from degradation and ensuring genomic stability. Each cell division results in telomere shortening, a process linked to aging and various diseases, including cancer, cardiovascular disease, and neurodegenerative disorders. Environmental factors such as stress, smoking, obesity, and high homocysteine levels can accelerate telomere attrition, making telomere length (TL) a crucial biomarker for health and disease research. 

 

The Need for Accurate and Efficient TL Measurement

Researchers are increasingly interested in measuring TL to understand telomere maintenance mechanisms and the impact of lifestyle and dietary factors on telomere integrity. Several methods exist for TL measurement, including Terminal Restriction Fragment (TRF) analysis, Flow-FISH, quantitative FISH, and qPCR. qPCR offers a high-throughput, efficient solution that requires minimal DNA input, making it ideal for large-scale studies.

 

ScienCell's Absolute Telomere Length Quantification qPCR Assay Kits 

ScienCell offers species-specific qPCR assay kits designed to provide a precise and reliable method for measuring average telomere length.

The kits include a reference gDNA sample with known telomere length.

 


This kit can be used to calculate a sample's actual telomere length in kb.

Each kit features:

 

  • High-Specificity Telomere Primers – Designed for efficient amplification of telomere sequences without non-specific amplification.
  • Single Copy Reference (SCR) Primer Set – Targets a 100 bp region on a specific chromosome for accurate data normalization.
  • Reference Genomic DNA – With a known telomere length to enable precise TL calculation of target samples.
  • High-Throughput Capability – Optimized for large studies with minimal DNA requirements.

Why Choose ScienCell’s qPCR Assay Kits?

 

  • Reliable Quantification – High efficiency primers ensure trustworthy TL measurement.
  • Direct TL Measurement – Unlike relative TL assays, these kits provide absolute TL values.
