Many animal species employ a chromosome-based mechanism of sex determination, which has led to coordinate evolution of dosage compensation systems. Dosage compensation not only corrects the imbalance in the number of X-chromosomes between the sexes, but is also hypothesized to correct dosage imbalan...

We produced a genome-wide map of the distribution of macroH2A1 histone variants in mouse liver chromatin using high-throughput sequencing of DNA from macroH2A1 nucleosomes. Although macroH2A1 nucleosomes are widely distributed across the genome, their local concentration varies over a range of 100-f...

Dosage compensation restores a balanced network of gene expression between autosomes and sex chromosomes in males (XY) and females (XX). In mammals, this is achieved by doubling the expression of X-linked genes in both sexes, together with X inactivation in females. X up-regulation may be controlled...
