A Primary Role for the Tsix lncRNA in Maintaining Random X-Chromosome Inactivation
Differentiating pluripotent epiblast cells in eutherians undergo random X-inactivation, which equalizes X-linked gene expression between the sexes by silencing one of the two X-chromosomes in females. Tsix RNA is believed to orchestrate the initiation of X-inactivation, influencing the choice of whi...
