Validation of candidate genes involved in X chromosome inactivation

Due to the unequal genetic makeup of homogametic males and heterogametic females, placental mammals have to equalize the expression of X-linked genes between both sexes. This dosage balance is achieved by a process known as X chromosome inactivation (XCI). Originally described by Mary Lyon, XCI has...
