Telomeres are a region of repetitive nucleotide sequences at each end of a chromatid, protecting the DNA fragments; they grow shorter as cell division occurs, an indication of the person getting older. By shortening the telomeres, one can reduce the lifespan of themselves or others.

Applications

 * Age Acceleration

Associations

 * DNA Manipulation

Limitations

 * May only be able to manipulate either their own telomeres or others', not both at the same time.
