Abstract excerpt
One of the two X chromosomes in female mammals is inactivated by the noncoding Xist RNA. In mice, X chromosome inactivation (XCI) is regulated by the antisense RNA Tsix, which represses Xist on the active X chromosome. In the absence of Tsix, PRC2-mediated histone H3 lysine 27 trimethylation (H3K...
