Abstract excerpt
The Xist gene resides on the X chromosome and is expressed in female but not male somatic cells. In female cells, only the Xist allele on the inactive X chromosome is transcribed. We investigated the expression of Xist in diploid P10 female embryonal carcinoma cells that have two active X chromosomes. Xist RNA was present in these P10 cells. The X chromosomes in P10 cells carry different Xist alleles whose...
