Early Loss of Xist RNA Expression and Inactive X Chromosome Associated Chromatin Modification in Developing Primordial Germ Cells
11 Sept 2007
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The inactive X chromosome characteristic of female somatic lineages is reactivated during development of the female germ cell lineage. In mouse, analysis of protein products of X-linked genes and/or transgenes located on the X chromosome has indicated that reactivation occurs after primordial germ cells reach the genital ridges. PRINCIPAL FINDINGS/METHODOLOGY: We present evidence that the epigenetic...
