Abstract excerpt
Female human pluripotent stem cells show vast heterogeneity regarding the status of X chromosome inactivation. By comparing the gene expression profile of cells with two active X chromosomes (XaXa cells) to that of cells with only one active X chromosome (XaXi cells), a set of autosomal genes was shown to be overexpressed in the XaXa cells. Among these genes, we found significant enrichment for genes regulated by...
