Telomerase protects chromosome ends in stem cells and cancer cells. Here the authors show that Trimethylguaonsine Synthase 1 (TGS-1) – dependent trimethylguanosine capping of the RNA component of the human telomerase complex has an important role in directing telomere dependent telomere maintenance and suppressing the ALT pathway in cancer cells.
