Abstract excerpt
The ribosomal RNA gene cluster (rDNA) in Saccharomyces cerevisiae consists of about 150 tandem copies, making it a fragile site prone to copy number changes through recombination among the repeat. While extensive research has been conducted to understand the mechanisms for rDNA stability maintenance, the relationship between the stability maintenance of rDNA and other genomic regions remains unclear. In this...
