RNA polymerase II-mediated rDNA transcription mediates rDNA copy number expansion in Drosophila. by George J Watase, Yukiko M Yamashita

“…Ribosomal DNA (rDNA), which encodes ribosomal RNA, is an essential but unstable genomic element due to its tandemly repeated nature. rDNA's repetitive nature causes spontaneous intrachromatid recombination, leading to copy number (CN) reduction, which must be counteracted by a mechanism that recovers CN to sustain cells' viability. Akin to telomere maintenance, rDNA maintenance is particularly important in cell types that proliferate for an extended time period, most notably in the germline that passes the genome through generations. …”
