Discontinuous transcription of ribosomal DNA in human cells.

Numerous studies show that various genes in all kinds of organisms are transcribed discontinuously, i.e. in short bursts or pulses with periods of inactivity between them. But it remains unclear whether ribosomal DNA (rDNA), represented by multiple copies in every cell, is also expressed in such man...
