Dosage compensation in Bombyx mori is achieved by partial repression of both Z chromosomes in males
2021-07-19
Abstract excerpt
Interphase chromatin is organized precisely to facilitate accurate gene expression. The structure-function relationship of chromatin is epitomized in sex chromosome dosage compensation (DC), where sex-linked gene expression is balanced between males and females via sex-specific alterations to 3D chromosome structure. Studies in ZW-bearing species suggest that DC is absent or incomplete in most lineages except butt...
