Assembly of telomeric chromatin to create ALTernative endings.
Trends Cell Biol. 2014 Aug 26. pii: S0962-8924(14)00121-4. doi: 10.1016/j.tcb.2014.07.007

Abstract:
.....Although it remains to be clarified why a cell chooses the ALT pathway and how ALT is initiated, recently identified mutations in factors that shape the chromatin and epigenetic landscape of ALT telomeres are shedding light on these mechanisms. In this review, we examine these recent findings and integrate them into the current models of the ALT mechanism.
