Studies of XIST and macroH2A1.2 independent of gene silencing : subtitle a unique hybrid cell model system
X chromosome inactivation results in the transcriptional silencing of one of the two X chromosomes present in mammalian female cells. XIST expression from the inactive X (Xi), and subsequent coating of the Xi by the XIST RNA, marks the initial major observable characteristic of X-inactivation. Th...
