Analysis of mice with single and multiple copies of transgenes reveals a novel arrangement for the lambda5-VpreB1 locus control region.

abstract：:Ribosomal DNA (rDNA) genes in eukaryotes are organized into multicopy tandem arrays and transcribed by RNA polymerase I. During cell proliferation, ∼50% of these genes are active and have a relatively open chromatin structure characterized by elevated accessibility to psoralen cross-linking. In Saccharomyces cerevisia...
