Dosage Compensation is required to correct for uneven gene dose between the sexes. We utilized global run-on sequencing (GRO-seq) to examine how Caenorhabditis elegans dosage compensation reduces transcription of X-linked genes. To facilitate these experiments, we required accurate 5M-bM-^@M-^Y-ends...

Silene latifolia is a dioecious plant with heteromorphic sex chromosomes that have originated only ~10 MYA and is a promising model organism to study sex chromosome evolution in plants. Previous work suggests that S. latifolia XY chromosomes have gradually stopped recombining and the Y chromosome is...

MSL (Male-specific lethal) complex increases transcription on the single X chromosome of Drosophila males in order to equalize expression of X-linked genes between males (XY) and females (XX). The increase in transcript levels correlates with MSL- dependent acetylation of histone H4 at K16 within th...

Using 4 replicate males and 4 replicate females this experiment examined dosage compensation and sex-biased gene expression. Briefly we performed a de novo assembly of the Manduca sexta transcriptome using all sequenced libraries, quantified genes expression, identified the physical locations of gen...

Dosage compensation ensures that males and females, despite unequal number of X chromosomes, equalize for X linked gene expression. In Drosophila, it is achieved by a two-fold up-regulation of most of the genes present on the male X chromosome, and requires the association of the Dosage Compensation...

The H4K16 acetyltransferase MOF plays a crucial role in dosage compensation in Drosophila, but has additional, global functions. We compared the molecular context and effect of MOF in male and female flies combining chromosome-wide mapping and transcriptome studies with analyses of defined reporter ...

In mammals, X-chromosomal genes are expressed from a single copy since males (XY) possess a single X chromosome, while females (XX) undergo X inactivation. To compensate for this reduction in dosage compared to two active copies of autosomes, it has been proposed that genes from the active X chromos...
Dosage compensation in mammals involves silencing of one X chromosome in XX females, and requires expression, in cis, of Xist silencing RNA. Using microarray analysis to assay expression of X-linked genes in mouse embryonic stem cells, we show that dosage compensation also involves global up-regulat...

We utilized global run-on sequencing (GRO-seq) to examine how Caenorhabditis elegans dosage compensation reduces transcription of X-linked genes.

Here, we show that doubling of the global expression level of the X chromosome achieves dosage compensation in somatic tissues from several mammalian species. X-linked genes are highly expressed in brain tissues, consistent with a role in cognitive functions. Experiment Overall Design: Eight arrays ...
