Age-dependent ribosomal DNA variations and their effect on cellular function in mammalian cells
Eriko Watada,Sihan Li,Yutaro Hori,Katsunori Fujiki,Katsuhiko Shirahige,Toshifumi Inada,Takehiko Kobayashi +6 more
TL;DR: It is shown that rDNA copy number increases in old mice bone marrow cells and the level of ribosomal RNA production was reduced because of increased levels of DNA methylation that represses transcription.
