The localization of rDNA in small, nucleolus-like structures in human diplotene oocyte nuclei.
Small, nucleolus-like structures were demostrated in the nuclei of human diplotene oocytes. At least some of these bodies were shown to be true micronucleoli by virtue of their ability to bind rRNA during RNA-DNA hybridization in situ.
