Decoding dosage compensation

How the mechanisms of dosage compensation distinguish the sex chromosomes from the autosomes has been something of a mystery. A recent study in Caenorhabditis elegans has identified clusters of two common DNA motifs as a cis-acting code for the recruitment of the DCC, the protein complex that mediat...
