<i>Xist</i> expression in male <i>Peromyscus leucopus</i> is associated with restricted chromatin repression and incomplete X-to-autosome dosage compensation
2026-06-15
Abstract excerpt
X-chromosome inactivation (XCI) equalizes X-linked gene dosage between XX females and XY males in eutherian mammals and is canonically initiated by the long noncoding RNA Xist , which coats one X chromosome and recruits Polycomb-mediated chromatin silencing. Xist expression has therefore been considered female-specific and central to balancing gene dosage between two X chromosomes in females and a single X chrom...
