X-inactive-specific transcript: a long noncoding RNA with a complex role in sex differences in human disease
Abstract In humans, the X and Y chromosomes determine the biological sex, XX specifying for females and XY for males. The long noncoding RNA X-inactive specific transcript (lncRNA XIST) plays a crucial role in the process of X chromosome inactivation (XCI) in cells of the female, a process that ensu...
