Telomeric Repeat-Containing RNA
http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/NCIT_C116964

A large, non-coding RNA that can be encoded by any chromosomal telomeric DNA sequence, and is an integral part of the telomeric heterochromatin. These oligoribonucleotides may play a role in the regulation of both telomere replication and chromosomal remodeling. Their sizes are dependent on the telomere sequence length.
