Next generation sequencing analysis reveals a relationship between rDNA unit diversity and locus number in <it>Nicotiana</it> diploids
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Tandemly arranged nuclear ribosomal DNA (rDNA), encoding 18S, 5.8S and 26S ribosomal RNA (rRNA), exhibit concerted evolution, a pattern thought to result from the homogenisation of rDNA arrays. However rDNA homogeneity at the single...
