Comparative biology of mammalian telomeres: hypotheses on ancestral states and the roles of telomeres in longevity determination: The comparative biology of mammalian telomeresGomes, Nuno M. V.; Ryder, Oliver A.; Houck, Marlys L.; Charter, Suellen J.; Walker, William; Forsyth, Nicholas R.; Austad, Steven N.; Venditti, Chris; Pagel, Mark; Shay, Jerry W.; et al.
