A dual origin of the Xist gene from a protein-coding gene and a set of transposable elements.

A dual origin of the Xist gene from a protein-coding gene and a set of transposable elements.

X-chromosome inactivation, which occurs in female eutherian mammals is controlled by a complex X-linked locus termed the X-inactivation center (XIC). Previously it was proposed that genes of the XIC evolved, at least in part, as a result of pseudogenization of protein-coding genes. In this study we...
