Intragenomic rDNA variation - the product of concerted evolution, mutation, or something in between?

The classical model of concerted evolution states that hundreds to thousands of ribosomal DNA (rDNA) units undergo homogenization, making the multiple copies of the individual units more uniform across the genome than would be expected given mutation frequencies and gene redundancy. While the univer...
