Thousands of high-quality sequencing samples fail to show meaningful correlation between 5S and 45S ribosomal DNA arrays in humans

Abstract The ribosomal RNA genes (rDNA) are tandemly arrayed in most eukaryotes and exhibit vast copy number variation. There is growing interest in integrating this variation into genotype–phenotype associations. Here, we explored a possible association of rDNA copy number variation with autism spe...
