Telomeres are the sequences that form the ends of eukaryotic chromosomes and are essential structures that confer genome stability and guide chromosome behavior. In addition, the terminal regions of the chromosomes tend to house genes with predicted roles in ecological adaptation. Unfortunately, however, most fungal genome assemblies contain very few telomeres and, therefore, the identities of genes residing near the chromosome ends are often unknown. In an effort to develop a complete understanding of the organization and gene content of chromosome ends in a number of fungi, we developed efficient methods for the identification and targeted cloning of telomeres. This chapter describes the basic steps and shows exemplary results from the targeted cloning of Epichlo� festucae telomeres.
