TRF2-RAP1 is required to protect telomeres from engaging in homologous recombination-mediated deletions and fusions

While yeast Rap1 regulates telomere length and protects telomeres from non-homologous end joining, its role in higher eukaryotes is controversial. Here the authors present evidence that in mammals, RAP1 cooperates with TRF2 to prevent homologous recombination-mediated repair of telomeres.
