YY1 tethers Xist RNA to the inactive X nucleation center

The long noncoding Xist RNA inactivates one X-chromosome in the female mammal. Current models posit that Xist induces silencing as it spreads along X and recruits Polycomb complexes. However, the mechanisms for Xist loading and spreading are currently unknown. Here, we define the nucleation center f...
