[Study of polymorphism in human rRNA gene clusters]
Abstract:
Human ribosomal DNA (rDNA) probe specific for the 3' end of the 28S rRNA gene was used for detecting standard restriction fragments' length polymorphism (RFLPs) in the non-transcribed spacer. The conditions for hybridization of rDNA probe which eliminate cross hybridization of parts of 28S rRNA gene were developed. A test for detecting incompletely restricted DNA was also developed which may be used in experiments for detecting new RFLPs. It was found that a set of standard RFLPs was identical in various human tissues for one individual. Frequency of standard RFLPs in the non-transcribed spacer of human rRNA gene clusters was calculated.
