CTCF-mediated insulation and chromatin environment modulate Car5b escape from X inactivation
3 Mar 2025
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Genes that escape X-chromosome inactivation (XCI) in female somatic cells vary in number and levels of escape among mammalian species and tissues, potentially contributing to species- and tissue-specific sex differences. CTCF, a master chromatin conformation regulator, is enriched at escape regions and may play an important role in regulating escape, but the molecular mechanisms remain elusive....
