Regulation of imprinted X-chromosome inactivation in mice by <i>Tsix</i>
15 Apr 2001
Abstract excerpt
In mammals, X-chromosome inactivation is imprinted in the extra-embryonic lineages with paternal X chromosome being preferentially inactivated. In this study, we investigate the role of Tsix, the antisense transcript from the Xist locus, in regulation of Xist expression and X-inactivation. We show that Tsix is transcribed from two putative promoters and its transcripts are processed. Expression of Tsix is first...
