Silencing <i>XIST</i> on the future active X: Searching human and bovine preimplantation embryos for the repressor
2021-10-07
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> X inactivation is the means of equalizing the dosage of X chromosomal genes in male and female eutherian mammals, so that only one X is active in each cell. The XIST locus ( in cis ) on each additional X chromosome initiates the transcriptional silencing of that chromosome, making it an inactive X. How the active X in both males and females is protected from inactivation by its own XIST loc...
