Class
An X element combinatorial repeat is a repeat region located between the X element and the telomere or adjacent Y' element.
X element combinatorial repeats contain Tbf1p binding sites, and possible functions include a role in telomerase-independent telomere maintenance via recombination or as a barrier against transcriptional silencing. These are usually present as a combination of one or more of several types of smaller elements (designated A, B, C, or D). This term was requested 2009-10-16 by Michel Dumontier, tracker id 2880747.
