Localization of 5 S RNA genes in Chirnomus tentans.
The genes for 5 S RNA in Chironomus tentans have been located to region 2A of chromosome II by cytological hybridization. RNA from individual chromosomes, nuclear sap and nucleoli of salivary gland cells hybridized with the identified 5 S RNA genes in region 2A of chromosome II. The results suggest a common origin of 5 S RNA in these different nuclear compartments.
