An MTF2-containing subcomplex of Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 promotes cell cycle progression through repression of D-type cyclin expression in certain cellular contexts.

The cells of female mammals randomly inactivate one X chromosome to keep gene dosage the same as in males ... The three maternal X genes silenced by the most cells were SASH3, toll-like receptor 7, ...

Researchers at Karolinska Institutet have mapped the genome of the Iberian ribbed newt and revealed how the composition and organization of the DNA are linked to its ability to regenerate entire body ...

But in every cell of their body, just one X chromosome is needed—so the other is randomly inactivated. Some cells use only a maternal X chromosome; others rely only on the paternal X.

They identified 11 X-chromosome genes with imprinted expression patterns: nine expressed from Xp and two expressed from Xm (Fig. 1). Notably, this pattern was observed in hippocampal neurons from ...

Summary: New research shows that female mice expressing only a maternal X chromosome experience faster brain aging and cognitive decline compared to those expressing both maternal and paternal X ...
