RNA-on-X 1 and 2 in Drosophila melanogaster fulfill separate functions in dosage compensation.
In Drosophila melanogaster, the male-specific lethal (MSL) complex plays a key role in dosage compensation by stimulating expression of male X-chromosome genes. It consists of MSL proteins and two long noncoding RNAs, roX1 and roX2, that are required for spreading of the complex on the chromosome an...
