X chromosome inactivation: theme and variations.

Cytogenetic and genome research - 1 Jan 2002

Migeon B R

Abstract excerpt

My contribution to this special issue on Vertebrate Sex Chromosomes deals with the theme of X chromosome inactivation and its variations. I will argue that the single active X--characteristic of mammalian X dosage compensation--is unique to mammals, and that the major underlying mechanism(s) must be the same for most of them. The variable features reflect modifications that do not interfere with the basic theme....
