The Xist lncRNA interacts directly with SHARP to silence transcription through HDAC3

The Xist lncRNA interacts directly with SHARP to silence transcription through HDAC3

Many long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) affect gene expression, but the mechanisms by which they act are still largely unknown. One of the best-studied lncRNAs is Xist, which is required for transcriptional silencing of one X chromosome during development in female mammals. Despite extensive efforts to...
