Xist and its role in X-chromosome inactivation
Compensation for the two-fold dosage difference in female versus male mammals for X-linked genes involves the formation of an extremely stable heterochromatin structure on one of the two X chromosomes in females. Expression of the untranslated RNA, XIST, is required in cis for the establishment o...
