Genes that escape X inactivation have been recently found in human and in mouse. Although many of these genes have homologues on the Y chromosome that may compensate for expression from both X alleles in females, some have no Y homologues, and this presumably results in dosage differences between the sexes. Comparisons between human and mouse have revealed that the X-inactivation status of some genes differs...
