Yes, and it is worth noting that telomeres, while technically being DNA, do not code any proteins. In fact their complexity is at a completely trivial level - just a repeated sequence of "TTAGGG". This is also the part of DNA that does not get sequenced with the rest of one's code. There is a lot of speculation on what else can extend telomeres [1]. So yes, a clickbait.
