Abstract excerpt
In female eutherian mammals preferential inactivation of the paternally derived X chromosome (XP) takes place in certain extra-embryonic tissues such as mouse yolk-sac endoderm, chorionic ectoderm and trophoblast and has been demonstrated both biochemically and cytologically. This is thought to be due to the paternal X chromosome being 'imprinted', that is, somehow marked as different, during either male...
