Substantial rDNA copy number reductions alter timing of development and produce variable tissue-specific phenotypes in C. elegans
{{output}}
The genes that encode ribosomal RNAs are present in several hundred copies in most eukaryotes. These vast arrays of repetitive ribosomal DNA (rDNA) have been implicated not just in ribosome biogenesis, but also aging, cancer, genome stability, and global gene ... ...
