X-Chromosome Inactivation Breakthrough for Genetic Disorders
May 5, 2025
X-chromosome inactivation is a fundamental process in cell biology that plays a critical role in ensuring that females have a balanced expression of genes encoded on the X chromosome.Unlike males, who possess a single X chromosome, females carry two, necessitating a mechanism to silence one copy to prevent gene dosage imbalances.

X Chromosome Inactivation: Key to Treating Genetic Diseases
April 7, 2025
X chromosome inactivation is a fascinating biological process that allows female mammals to balance gene expression from their two X chromosomes.Unlike males, who possess a single X chromosome, females must silence one copy to prevent an overabundance of X-linked gene products, which can lead to disorders.
