AmiGO 2: Term Details for "t-circle formation" (GO:0090656)

Accession: GO:0090656
Name: t-circle formation
Ontology: biological_process
Synonyms: telomeric circle formation
Alternate IDs: None
Definition: A telomere maintenance process that results in the formation of a telomeric circle, or t-circle. A t-circle is an extrachromosomal duplex or single-stranded circular DNA molecule composed of t-arrays. T-circles are involved in the control of telomere length via alternative-lengthening of telomeres (ALT) pathway and telomere rapid deletion (TRD).
