Phenotypic tolerance for rDNA copy number variation within the natural range of C. elegans.

The genes for ribosomal RNA (rRNA) are encoded by ribosomal DNA (rDNA), whose structure is notable for being present in arrays of tens to thousands of tandemly repeated copies in eukaryotic genomes. The exact number of rDNA copies per genome is highly variable within a species, with differences betw...
