An investigation into the role of methylation in mammalian X-chromosome inactivation
X-chromosome inactivation achieves dosage compensation of X-linked genes between male (XY) and female (XX) mammals. This process involves the down-regulation of most, but not all genes on one of the two X-chromosomes in the nucleus of each female somatic cell. The mechanism of X-inactivation has yet...
