Round Spermatid Injection Rescues Female Lethality of a Paternally Inherited Xist Deletion in Mouse.

Round Spermatid Injection Rescues Female Lethality of a Paternally Inherited Xist Deletion in Mouse.

In mouse female preimplantation embryos, the paternal X chromosome (Xp) is silenced by imprinted X chromosome inactivation (iXCI). This requires production of the noncoding Xist RNA in cis, from the Xp. The Xist locus on the maternally inherited X chromosome (Xm) is refractory to activation due to t...
