Abstract excerpt
X-chromosome inactivation is a dosage compensation mechanism that equalizes X-linked gene expression between male and female mammals through the transcriptional silencing of most genes on one of the two X-chromosomes in females. With a few key exceptions, once the X-chromosome is inactivated replicated copies of that X-chromosome are maintained as inactive in all descendant cells. X-inactivation is therefore a...
