Expression of ribosomal cistrons of human chromosomes at high resolution. Academic Article uri icon

Overview

abstract

  • The expression of ribosomal cistrons in the nucleolar organizer regions (NORs) has been studied with high resolution banding in the acrocentric chromosomes of 10 normal individuals. It was found that if a particular chromosome did not stain with silver nitrate at metaphase, then it did not stain at prophase either. Therefore, it is concluded that some of the acrocentric chromosomes have variable expression of NORs.
