This project focuses on comparative assessment of reliability and precision of different telomere length measurement methods. It comprises two arms: the first arm focuses on comparisons of telomere length measurements by Southern blotting and quantitative PCR (qPCR) methods in longitudinal settings. The second arm of the study incorporates telomere length measurements within the framework of a Telomere Research Network (TRN) established by the NIH.
