Abstract excerpt
In order to ensure sufficient ribosomal RNA (rRNA) is transcribed for ribosome function, genomes contain hundreds of tandem duplications of the sequences that encode rRNAs, composing regions called ribosomal DNA (rDNA) loci. Many organisms' genomes contain more than one rDNA locus distributed across different chromosomes, and rRNA may be transcribed from multiple rDNA loci or only a single locus. Changes in rRNA...
