XIST dampens X chromosome activity in a SPEN-dependent manner during early human development
2023-10-19
Abstract excerpt
XIST long non-coding RNA is responsible for X chromosome inactivation (XCI) in placental mammals, yet it accumulates on both X chromosomes in human female pre-implantation embryos without triggering X chromosome silencing. The long non-coding RNA XACT co-accumulates with XIST on active Xs and may antagonize XIST function. Here we used human ES cells in a naïve state of pluripotency to assess the function of XIST a...
