The harmful jellyfish Cyanea nozakii Kishinouye has frequently occurred on Korean coasts, and its blooms have caused serious ecological and economic damages. DNA sequences of the C. nozakii for molecular detection and discrimination are relatively scarce.

Characterization of Yeast Ribosomal DNA [PDF]
High‐molecular‐weight yeast ribosomal DNA, purified by preparative Hg2/Cs2SO4 gradient centrifugation, was characterized using RNA‐DNA hybridization, CsCl gradient analysis and denaturation‐renaturation experiments. The following conclusions are drawn from the results of these studies.

Challenges and Approaches to Genotyping Repetitive DNA
Individuals within a species can exhibit vast variation in copy number of repetitive DNA elements. This variation may contribute to complex traits such as lifespan and disease, yet it is only infrequently considered in genotype-phenotype associations ...

Ribosomal DNA heterochromatin in plants [PDF]
The aim of this review is to integrate earlier results and recent findings to present the current state-of-the-art vision concerning the dynamic behavior of the ribosomal DNA (rDNA) fraction in plants. The global organization and behavioral features of rDNA make it a most useful system to analyse the relationship between chromatin topology and gene ...

Telomere and ribosomal DNA repeats are chromosomal targets of the bloom syndrome DNA helicase
Background Bloom syndrome is one of the most cancer-predisposing disorders and is characterized by genomic instability and a high frequency of sister chromatid exchange. The disorder is caused by loss of function of a 3' to 5' RecQ DNA helicase, BLM. The

Function of the upstream activating factor in chromatin structure organization and transcriptional regulation at the yeast ribosomal DNA [PDF]
Chromatin is the template of all processes involved in DNA metabolism in the eukaryotic cell. Accordingly, chromatin is a dynamic structure which changes in its composition and posttranslational modification correlating with the functional state of a ...

The Protist Ribosomal Reference database (PR2): a catalog of unicellular eukaryote Small Sub-Unit rRNA sequences with curated taxonomy [PDF]
The interrogation of genetic markers in environmental meta-barcoding studies is currently seriously hindered by the lack of taxonomically curated reference data sets for the targeted genes.

Ribosomal DNA-connecting ribosome biogenesis and chromosome biology [PDF]
Ribosomal DNA, the topic of this special issue, has long fascinated biologists. The RNA products of the ribosomal DNA are the ribosomal RNAs that are part of the ribosome. In this special issue, we focus on the sequence, molecular organization, repair, stability, copy number, and peculiar genetics of this region of the genome.
