Unstable Inheritance of 45S rRNA Genes in Arabidopsis thaliana

Unstable Inheritance of 45S rRNA Genes in Arabidopsis thaliana

The considerable genome size variation in Arabidopsis thaliana has been shown largely to be due to copy number variation (CNV) in 45S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes. Surprisingly, attempts to map this variation by means of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) failed to identify either of the two likel...
