Dicer regulates Xist promoter methylation in ES cells indirectly through transcriptional control of Dnmt3a.
BACKGROUND: X chromosome inactivation is the mechanism used in mammals to achieve dosage compensation of X-linked genes in XX females relative to XY males. Chromosome silencing is triggered in cis by expression of the non-coding RNA Xist. As such, correct regulation of the Xist gene promoter is requ...
