Svensk definition
Gener i såväl prokaryoter som eukaryoter som transkriberas till det RNA som inlemmas i ribosomer. Prokaryota rRNA-gener finns i operoner spridda över genomet, medan eukaryota rRNA-gener är transkriptionsenheter av anhopningar av flera cistroner.
Engelsk definition
Genes, found in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes, which are transcribed to produce the RNA which is incorporated into RIBOSOMES. Prokaryotic rRNA genes are usually found in OPERONS dispersed throughout the GENOME, whereas eukaryotic rRNA genes are clustered, multicistronic transcriptional units.
