A cross-species comparison of escape from X inactivation in Eutheria: implications for evolution of X chromosome inactivation

Sex chromosome dosage compensation in both eutherian and marsupial mammals is achieved by X chromosome inactivation (XCI)—transcriptional repression that silences one of the two X chromosomes in the somatic cells of females. We recently used RNA fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) to show, in i...
