Recent Advances in Understanding the Reversal of Gene Silencing During X Chromosome Reactivation
Dosage compensation between XX female and XY male cells is achieved by a process known as X chromosome inactivation (XCI) in mammals. XCI is initiated early during development in female cells and is subsequently stably maintained in most somatic cells. Despite its stability, the robust transcription...
