Replication fork blocking deficiency leads to a reduction of rDNA copy number in budding yeast

Summary: The ribosomal RNA genes are encoded as hundreds of tandem repeats, known as the rDNA, in eukaryotes. Maintaining these copies seems to be necessary, but copy number changes in an active manner have been reported in only frogs, flies, Neurospora, and yeast. In the best-studied system, yeast,...
