Epistatic and allelic interactions control expression of ribosomal RNA gene clusters in Arabidopsis thaliana

Abstract Background Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) accounts for the majority of the RNA in eukaryotic cells, and is encoded by hundreds to thousands of nearly identical gene copies, only a subset of which are active at any given time. In Arabidopsis thaliana, 45S rRNA genes are found in two large ribosomal DN...
