KDM6A facilitates Xist upregulation at the onset of X inactivation
2024-06-27
Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p><bold>Background:</bold> X chromosome inactivation (XCI) is a female-specific process in which one X chromosome is silenced to balance X-linked gene expression between the sexes. XCI is initiated in early development by upregulation of the lncRNA Xist on the future inactive X (Xi). A subset of X-linked genes escape silencing and thus have higher expression in females, suggesting female-...
