Abstract excerpt

We investigated the relationship between transcriptional activity and the quantity of ribosomal cistrons of the nucleolar organizing regions (NORs) in chromosomal pair 3 of the Spanish mole Talpa occidentalis. Transcriptional activity was estimated by the size of conventional silver-staining sign...
