The mechanism and impact of X chromosome inactivation

Overview of X chromosome inactivation refers to the inactivation of one X chromosome in female mammals to balance the dose. Its discovery stems from the study of gene expression differences between male and female individuals. The inactivation mechanism is complex and involves Xist RNA, among others. Inactivation affects gene expression, leading to phenotypic differences between males and females. The study of X chromosome inactivation helps to understand gender related diseases and provides a new perspective for biomedical research, promoting the development of related fields.
