Genome - 1 Feb 1999
Delany M E, Krupkin A B
Abstract excerpt
The molecular organization of the 18S, 5.8S, and 28S ribosomal RNA gene repeat units, located at the single nucleolus organizer region (NOR) locus in the chicken, was investigated in genetically distinct populations of research and commercial chickens. Substantial gene repeat variation within and among NORs was documented. Intact ribosomal gene repeat size ranged from 11 kb to over 50 kb. Unique combinations of...
