Contiguous Erosion of the Inactive X in Human Pluripotency Concludes With Global DNA Hypomethylation
2020-05-22
Abstract excerpt
<h4>SUMMARY</h4> Female human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) are prone to undergoing X chromosome erosion (XCE), a progressive loss of key epigenetic features on the inactive X that initiates with repression of XIST , the long non-coding RNA required for X inactivation. As a result, previously silenced genes on the eroding X (Xe) reactivate, some of which are thought to provide selective advantages. To-date, the...
