All right, telomeres, I know our viewers know, telomeres are on the ends of the chromosome to protect them. When the cell divides, it's a trauma for the cell. If you could imagine, the chromosomes are pulled apart. And there's a part of the chromosome, every chromosome, that is not going to make it in that pulling apart. And that means there's a potential to lose important DNA.

So the way nature, the way we're engineered, takes care of that is we have on the ends of the chromosomes... the telomeres that are repeating sequences that take the hit from pulling apart. So if something is not going to make it, it's not the important DNA, it's the stuff in the telomeres. So they're only on the ends of the chromosome, and that's the point.

Chromosome number two, and I've got pictures of it, and Steve can probably find a photograph. Chromosome number two is as big as it is because two chromosomes were fused telomere to telomere. Now you've got telomeres on this end, on this end, and right in the middle where they shouldn't be. There should be no telomeres in the middle of the chromosome. But not only...

That looks like my, that's my slide. Which one? Does it say my name?

That looks like my, that's my slide. Which one? Does it say my name?

No, that's my slide right there on the left hand. On the top left? Yeah. Huh. From a recent program that I did. Where's that come from? Can you visit the site?

I don't know, but he put my, that's my white circle that I put up there showing. Oh, wow. Punch in on that. And I enlarged it. I enlarged it. See that? So what you're seeing, okay, so first of all, these are chromosomes under a microscope, and they've been dyed. So we can see the chromosome's green. The red or pink, however, comes out on there. I don't have my glasses on, so I'm not saying.

Okay, those are the telomeres, and you can see on all the other ones, telomeres are on the ends right there. And then inside the white circle is the same one that's been enlarged. Right. I did that. That's my slide. Oh, wow. That somebody's using in their paper. Showing, look at where you can see right in the middle. The two red places are right in the middle.
