Figure 1. Classification of the main telomere length measurement methods according their throughput and the telomere length associated variable measured by them.

Shapes indicate the type of telomere length associated variable measured by each method: Circles represent method that measure average telomere length, triangles represents methods that are able to measure individual telomere spots and squares represent those that are able to measure individual telomeres.
