The nucleolus is the nuclear subdomain that assembles ribosomal subunits in eukaryotic cells. The nucleolar organiser regions of chromosomes, which contain the genes for preâribosomal ribonucleic acid (rRNA), serve as the foundation for nucleolar structure.
The nucleolus is by far the most easily recognized substructure in the eukaryotic nucleus , and can be seen by using a variety of dyes as well as by phase contrast microscopy. Indeed, in budding yeast, the single nucleolus takes up nearly half of the nucleus. Cells from other species often have multiple nucleoli. The nucleolus is a ribosome factory, composed of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), ribonucleic acid (RNA), and protein .
