The Ribosomal Gene Loci—The Power behind the Throne

The Ribosomal Gene Loci—The Power behind the Throne

Nucleoli form around actively transcribed ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes (rDNA), and the morphology and location of nucleolus-associated genomic domains (NADs) are linked to the RNA Polymerase I (Pol I) transcription status. The number of rDNA repeats (and the proportion of actively transcribed rRNA gen...
