Abstract excerpt
X Chromosome inactivation (XCI) silences one copy of most X-linked genes in female mammals. Notably, human and mouse differ strikingly in the number and organization of the genes that escape XCI. While on the human X Chromosome (Chr) escape genes are organized in domains, the few known genes that escape inactivation in the mouse appear to be isolated. Here we characterize the gene Cxorf26 and adjacent noncoding...
