Non-random sister chromatid segregation mediates rDNA copy number maintenance in <i>Drosophila</i>
2018-12-16
Abstract excerpt
Although considered to be exact copies of each other, sister chromatids can segregate non-randomly in some cases. For example, sister chromatids of the X and Y chromosomes segregate non-randomly during asymmetric division of male germline stem cells (GSCs) in D. melanogaster . Here we identify that the ribosomal DNA (rDNA) loci, which are located on the X and Y chromosomes, and an rDNA-binding protein, Indra, are...
