Spatio-temporal X-linked gene reactivation and site-specific retention of epigenetic silencing in the mouse germline
2023-04-26
Abstract excerpt
Random X-chromosome inactivation (XCI) is a hallmark of female mammalian somatic cells. This epigenetic mechanism, mediated by the long non-coding RNA Xist , occurs in the epiblast and is stably maintained to ensure proper dosage compensation of X-linked genes during life. However, this silencing is lost during primordial germ cell (PGC) development. Using a combination of single-cell allele-specific RNA sequenci...
