Multiple distinct domains of human XIST are required to coordinate gene silencing and subsequent heterochromatin formation

BACKGROUND: Mammalian dosage compensation is achieved by the inactivation of one X chromosome in XX individuals. In eutheria this process is initiated early in development by the long non-coding RNA XIST. Studies of the initiation of silencing by XIST have focussed on mouse models, so the domains of...
