Chromosomal requirements for formation of multivalent human nucleoli

Show abstract
Human nucleoli are multivalent, involving contributions from up to ten NOR-bearing acrocentric chromosome p-arms. Precision mega-base scale chromosome engineering defines the requirements for this major genome organisational event. NOR deletions reveal that p-arm nucleolar association is rDNA independent. Deletion of all NOR-distal or proximal sequences individually have only a marginal effect on nucleolar association. Finally, deletion of an entire p-arm, while leaving centromere function intact, destroys the nucleolar association potential of that acrocentric. We propose that formation of multivalent nucleoli is not a nucleolar fusion event per se; rather it is driven by the surrounding chromosomal context of NORs.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
