| Abstract | Members of the genus Chironomus, as well as other Diptera, lack the highly conserved structure of most telomeres, characterized by short repeats generated by telomerase, and have long repeats at their chromosome ends. Among Chironomus species with characterized telomeres Chironomus thummi is of particular interest because one of the telomeres, 3R, forms a giant puff in response to heat shock and other stress treatments. The puff contains nucleoprotein granules in which transcripts of the telomeric repeats are present. Most other nontelocentric telomeres irregularly form less pronounced heat shock puffs. One, the 4R telomere is, however, exceptional in being completely refractory to heat shock. We now pose the question whether the repeats in 3R and 4R have special sequence features. We find three different subfamilies of telomeric repeats in C. thummi, named TsA, TsB and TsC. They have an identical length (176 bp) and display base differences in defined regions, V1 and V2, connected by conserved segments. The TsA subfamily is localized exclusively at 3R, TsC only at 4R, whereas TsB repeats are shared by the remaining nontelocentric telomeres: 1R, 1L, 2R, 2L and 3L. Consequently both 3R and 4R have unique types of telomeric repeats. The 176 bp type repeats are absent from the telocentric, left end of chromosome 4. These results allowed us to differentiate in polytene chromosomes four types of telomeres characterized by tandemly repeated specific sequences. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
