Abstract
The organization of ribosomal DNA clusters, repetitive units, and their con served and variable elements in eukaryotes is considered with special empha sis on the structure and function of the ribosomal intergenic spacer (rIGS) . Data on rDNA variation, evolution, and possible role in various biologica l processes are reviewed.
