Summary:The transcription process is conveniently studied in oocyte nucleolar transcription units by means of quantitative EM autoradiography. There is a functional variability in the distribution of activity among the units. The distribution of activity within the units can also be determined by quantitative analysis, and was shown to depend on the length of the RNA fibrils.
