This is for the Geneticists, Bio-Geeks, and the synthetic biology crowd. Recently I proposed a method to determine what RNA or mRNA cloned cells use to extend their telomeres. I haven’t gotten a any real response so I thought I would post the question here.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
The thought is simple, every time a cell is cloned its telomeres<\/a> must be getting longer. Something in the egg cell is causing the extension of the telomeres.That something must be either telomerase<\/a> or one or more pieces of mRMA. The fact that we have been able to clone 25 successive generations of mice<\/a>, and make pluripotent stem cells via cloning<\/a> seems to point to telomere extension.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span>Recently a <\/span>technique to sequence the RNA in individual cells was developed.\u00a0<\/a><\/div>\n

\n<\/a>Now the question<\/strong>\u00a0– How difficult would it be to determine which mRNA fragments in egg cells are causing the telomere extension?<\/span><\/div>\n
