telomeres
(noun)Chromosome ends or caps that protect from erosion or fusion with other chromosomes.telomeres shuttle vector
(noun)A vector (usually a plasmid) constructed so that it can propagate in two different host species. Therefore, DNA inserted into a shuttle vector can be tested or manipulated in two different cell types. The main advantage of these vectors is they can be manipulated in E. coli, then used in a system which is more difficult or slower to use (e.g. yeast).
