Figure 5From: Are ribosomal DNA clusters rearrangement hotspots? A case study in the genus Mus (Rodentia, Muridae)The bouquet organization of chromosomes during the prophase [adapted from 74]. All telomeres are attached to the nuclear envelope. The physical proximity between telomeres (grey), centromeres (blue) and rDNA clusters (red) of acrocentric chromosomes may facilitate their sequence homogenization by non-homologous recombination.Back to article page
