Paternal X inactivation does not correlate with X chromosome evolutionary strata in marsupials

BACKGROUND: X chromosome inactivation is the transcriptional silencing of one X chromosome in the somatic cells of female mammals. In eutherian mammals (e.g. humans) one of the two X chromosomes is randomly chosen for silencing, with about 15% (usually in younger evolutionary strata of the X chromos...
