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 ...

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.

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 ...

Occurrence in Korea of Rust Disease on Tilia mandshurica Caused by Pucciniastrum tiliae
Tilia mandshurica trees with rust symptoms have consistently been noticed during disease surveys in Korea since 2006. Based on the morphological examination and molecular sequence analysis of the internal transcribed spacer and large subunit of ribosomal

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.

Phylogenetic analysis of Polystigma and its relationship to Phyllachorales
Polystigma amygdalinum, which causes red leaf blotch of almond, is one of the few fungal plant pathogens to remain a taxonomic enigma, primarily because it has resisted cultivation and causes almond leaf blotch only in restricted regions of the world. To
