We compared human female hiPSC lines (all derived from IMR-90 fibroblasts) that were XIST RNA-positive and XIST RNA-negative. We also examined the gene expression patterns for 2 female hIPSCs (derived from different disease model fibroblasts) that were also negative for XIST RNA. hiPS 12D-1 is deri...

Dosage compensation in mammals occurs at two levels. In addition to balancing X-chromosome dosage between males and females via X-inactivation, mammals also balance dosage of Xs and autosomes. It has been proposed that X-autosome equalization occurs by upregulation of Xa (active X). To investigate t...

X-chromosome aneuploidies have long been associated with human cancers, but causality has not been established. In mammals, X-chromosome inactivation (XCI) is triggered by Xist RNA to equalize gene expression between the sexes. Here we delete Xist in the blood compartment of mice and demonstrate tha...

Binding of Polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) and chromatin composition of the inactive X (Xi) before, during and after X chromosome inactivation reveal that spreading is driven by a combination of Xi-specific strong and moderate Ezh2 sites. Sequence context of these sites shows a moderate enrichm...

Eukaryotic transcription activators stimulate the expression of specific sets of target genes through recruitment of co-activators such as the RNA polymerase II-interacting Mediator complex. We previously identified an activator-targeted ~85 amino acid three-helix bundle KIX domain in the human MED1...
