YY1 binding is a gene-intrinsic barrier to Xist-mediated gene silencing by Bowness, JS, Almeida, M, Nesterova, T, Brockdorff, N

“…X chromosome inactivation (XCI) in mammals is mediated by Xist RNA which functions in cis to silence genes on a single X chromosome in XX female cells, thereby equalising levels of X-linked gene expression relative to XY males. XCI progresses over a period of several days, with some X-linked genes silencing faster than others. …”
