tRNA gene clustering

id: GO:0070058
name: tRNA gene clustering
namespace: biological_process
type: go
obsolete: False

Description: The process in which tRNA genes, which are not linearly connected on the chromosome, are transported in three dimensions to, and maintained together in, the nucleolus. This clustered positioning leads to transcriptional silencing of nearby RNA polymerase II promoters (termed tRNA gene mediated (tgm) silencing) in S. cerevisiae.
