The length is important genome stability; if they become too short, individuals can prone cancer and premature aging. Li et al. discovered a protein, TZAP (telomeric zinc finger–associated protein), which instead prevents from becoming long (see Perspective by Lossaint Lingner). binds directly telomeric repeats, competing with shelterin complex.
