XIST-induced silencing of flanking genes is achieved by additive action of repeat a monomers in human somatic cells

BACKGROUND: The establishment of facultative heterochromatin by X-chromosome inactivation requires the long non-coding RNA XIST/Xist. However, the molecular mechanism by which the RNA achieves chromosome-wide gene silencing remains unknown. Mouse Xist has been shown to have redundant domains for cis...
