Simple telomeres were identified in the genome assembly of the basal placozoan animal Trichoplax adhaerens. They have 1-2 kb of TTAGGG telomeric repeats, which are preceded by a subtelomeric region of 1.5-13 kb. Unlike subtelomeric regions in most animals examined, these subtelomeric regions are unique to each telomere.
在基部扁盘动物黏胶丝盘虫的基因组组装中鉴定出了简单端粒。它们具有1-2 kb的TTAGGG端粒重复序列,其前面是一个1.5-13 kb的亚端粒区域。与大多数已检测动物的亚端粒区域不同,这些亚端粒区域对于每个端粒而言都是独特的。
