Abstract

Nucleolar organiser regions (NORs) are loops of ribosomal DNA which contain the genes that transcribe to ribosomal RNA. They are situated on the short arm of the acrocentric human chromosomes 13, 14, 15, 21 and 22. Several of their associated nucleolar organiser region proteins, including Nucleolin (C23) and Numatrin (B23) can be demonstrated as tiny black dots contained within the nucleus by silverstaining (AgNOR technique).
