ABSTRACT
Previously, we observed that heterochromatic 4 and Y chromosomes that had experienced breakage in the male germline were frequently transmitted to progeny. Their behavior suggested that they carried functional telomeres. Here we show that efficient healing by de novo telomere addition is not unique to heterochromatic breaks.
