Impact of flanking chromosomal sequences on localization and silencing by the human non-coding RNA XIST

BACKGROUND: X-chromosome inactivation is a striking example of epigenetic silencing in which expression of the long non-coding RNA XIST initiates the heterochromatinization and silencing of one of the pair of X chromosomes in mammalian females. To understand how the RNA can establish silencing acros...
