The reverse transcription process begins by the telomerase RNA binding to the 3' end of the overhanging DNA sequence. Once primed, the G-rich sequence (~6-8 nucleotides) polymerizes the end of the DNA. The RNA primer then translocates down the new DNA sequence and polymerizes again. This process repeats until the entire telomere is formed. After one side of the telomere is formed, the telomerase attaches the complementary nucleotide bases to complete the double-stranded telomere at the end of the DNA double helix. | The reverse transcription process begins by the telomerase RNA binding to the 3' end of the overhanging DNA sequence.
