Abstract excerpt
X chromosome inactivation is controlled by the cis-acting X-inactivation centre (Xic). In addition to initiating inactivation, Xic, which includes the XIST: gene, is involved in both a counting process that senses the number of X chromosomes and the choice of X chromosome to inactivate. Controlling elements lying 3' to XIST: include the DXPas34 locus. Deletion of DXPas34 in undifferentiated embryonic stem (ES)...
