"Regulation of human telomerase in homeostasis and disease Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology Telomere length is maintained by telomerase which comprises a reverse transcriptase and a template RNA. Telomerase activity is disrupted in several genetic disorders but is commonly increased in cancer. Recent studies have uncovered many regulatory mechanisms of telomerase and how telomerase upregulation in cancer is achieved"

"Just a brief recap. Grok said correctly that the second form of DNA (or RNA) shown in the Arecibo Reply crop picture of [----] had 2' 5' linkages instead of 3' 5' as for most or all biological DNA and RNA on Earth. Grok was able to tell that because the helical periodicity which was drawn in crops had an unusual "6" bases per turn versus "10" for 3' 5' DNA. So far so good. THEN Grok claimed this was PROOF of a human-made origin because scientists on Earth (supposedly) knew about "6" bases per turn for 2' 5' BEFORE the [----] crop picture was drawn 🤡 I knew immediately that this was a BIG LIE"
