Intra- and Inter-individual genetic variation in human ribosomal RNAs

2017-03-20

Abstract excerpt

The ribosome is an ancient RNA-protein complex essential for translating DNA to protein. At its core are the ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs), the most abundant RNA in the cell. To support high levels of transcription, repetitive arrays of ribosomal DNA (rDNA) are necessary and the long-standing hypothesis is that they undergo sequence homogenization towards rDNA uniformity. Here I present evidence of the rich genetic diver...
