Abstract: The principle, forte and weakness of telomere length measurement methods such as TRF, Q-FISH, flow FISH, Q-PCR, STELA are reviewed. The telomere detection means used in radiation damage study, radiation epidemiological survey and clinical study are then introduced, along withthe improved Q-PCR in CIRP and its application.
