Location of Ribosomal RNA Cistrons in Yeast

Nature New Biology volume 240, pages 279–281 (1972)Cite this article

Abstract

YEAST cells contain approximately 1010 daltons of DNA per haploid nucleus1, distributed among sixteen to eighteen genetically recognizable linkage groups2. During mitotic division no distinct condensation of chromosomal material occurs3, so that the exact number of chromosomes in yeast remains uncertain.
