Abstract
A model of nucleolar DNA organization has been established. Three clearly defined main components are found in ascites hepatoma cell nucleolar DNA by CsCl gradient analysis. A linear arrangement for nucleolar DNA and a model of DNA organization in the neighbourhood of a set of ribosomal genes, which may play a fundamental role in the elaboration of nucleolar chromatin tertiary structure, are presented.
