The genomic structure of a human chromosome 22 nucleolar organizer region determined by TAR cloning
Abstract The rDNA clusters and flanking sequences on human chromosomes 13, 14, 15, 21 and 22 represent large gaps in the current genomic assembly. The organization and the degree of divergence of the human rDNA units within an individual nucleolar organizer region (NOR) are only partially known. To...
