Deletions in (CCCT)n repeat regions belonging to the human pRNA gene inhibit its expression [PDF]
Background Ribosomal DNA (rDNA), the most abundantly expressed locus in the human genome, is represented by hundreds of units per cell. Each unit includes a 13 kb long region (47S rDNA) containing the genes of ribosomal particles, and a 30 kb long ...

Molecular detection of parasites (Trematoda, Digenea: Bucephalidae and Monorchiidae) in the European flat oyster Ostrea edulis (Mollusca: Bivalvia) [PDF]
Members of the globally distributed bivalve family Ostreidae (oysters) have a significant role in marine ecosystems and include species of high economic importance. In this work, we report the occurrence of digenean parasites of the families Bucephalidae

Structure of the intergenic spacers in chicken ribosomal DNA [PDF]
Abstract Background Ribosomal DNA (rDNA) repeats are situated in the nucleolus organizer regions (NOR) of chromosomes and transcribed into rRNA for ribosome biogenesis. Thus, they are an essential component of eukaryotic genomes.

Ribosomal DNA (rDNA) spacer polymorphism in mole rats. [PDF]
Genetic differentiation of ribosomal DNA (rDNA) nontranscribed-spacer (NTS) polymorphism was analyzed in 50 individuals from 13 populations among the four chromosomal species (2n = 52, 2n = 54, 2n = 58, and 2n = 60) of subterranean mole rats of the Spalax ehrenbergi complex in Israel.

Transcriptional role for the nontranscribed spacer of rat ribosomal DNA. [PDF]
In vitro transcription of the rat rRNA gene led to the identification of a region within a 3.4-kilobase fragment of the nontranscribed spacer (NTS) which significantly increased the transcription of rat ribosomal DNA. Promoter constructs containing this region were transcribed up to 17-fold more efficiently in vitro than templates with only 167 or 286 ...

Transcription in cloned spacers of Xenopus laevis ribosomal DNA. [PDF]
Rare individuals of Xenopus laevis exhibit frequent initiation of transcription in the spacers of oocyte ribosomal DNA (rDNA). Using electron microscopy we have characterized spacer transcription in such an individual and have confirmed that the sites of transcription initiation correspond to the imperfectly duplicated promoters ("Bam islands") present

Functional analysis of transcribed spacers of yeast ribosomal DNA. [PDF]
Making use of an rDNA unit, containing oligonucleotide tags in both the 17S and 26S rRNA gene, we have analyzed the effect of various deletions in the External Transcribed Spacer (ETS) and in one of the Internal Transcribed Spacers 1 (ITS1) on the process of ribosome formation in yeast.
