Monoallelically-expressed Noncoding RNAs form nucleolar territories on NOR-containing chromosomes and regulate rRNA expression
2022-07-04
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Out of the several hundred copies of rRNA genes that are arranged in the nucleolar organizing regions (NOR) of the five human acrocentric chromosomes, ∼50% remain transcriptionally inactive. NOR-associated sequences and epigenetic modifications contribute to differential expression of rRNAs. However, the mechanism(s), controlling the dosage of active versus inactive rRNA genes in mammals is ye...
