Abstract
Ribosomal DNA, the topic of this special issue, has long fascinated biologists. The RNA products of the ribosomal DNA are the ribosomal RNAs that are part of the ribosome. In this special issue, we focus on the sequence, molecular organization, repair, stability, copy number, and peculiar genetics of this region of the genome. The locus can impact not only the translational capability of cells, but also genome organization, stability and integrity, providing a link between translation and chromosome biology.
