Figure 1From: Telomere shortening correlates to dysplasia but not to DNA aneuploidy in longstanding ulcerative colitis The Universal STELA. Excerpts of two typical membranes generated by a Southern blot, visualizing the ultra-short telomeres as analysed by the Universal STELA. Each lane represents a PCR-reaction. Eight separate PCR-reactions are performed for each lesion analysed. The horizontal bar marks 900 basepairs. Bands below this bar represent single telomeres and are counted for the analyses. A) Two lesions from a nonprogressor. B) Two lesions from a progressor.Back to article page
