High-resolution Xist binding maps reveal 2-step spreading during X-inactivation

The Xist long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) is essential for X-chromosome inactivation (XCI), the process by which mammals compensate for unequal numbers of sex chromosomes(1-3). During XCI, Xist coats the future inactive X (Xi)(4) and recruits Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2) to the X-inactivation cen...
