Summary

In mammals, dosage compensation of genes on the X chromosome occurs by X inactivation, which is regulated in cis by the X-inactivation center (XIC) and expression of the XIST non-coding RNA. This gene expresses a non-coding antisense transcript across the 3' end of the XIST locus, and is coexpressed with XIST only from the inactive X chromosome. The mouse ortholog of this locus is required for imprinted X inactivation in extraembryonic tissues and silences Xist through modification of the chromatin structure in the Xist promoter region. In contrast, imprinted X inactivation does not occur in human extraembryonic tissues and transcripts from this locus do not repress XIST expression or affect random X chromosome inactivation in embryonic cells. This transcript is thought to be unspliced and extend over more than 30 kb, but its exact nature has not been determined. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Gene Networks

Gene regulatory network (GRN) of the gene in two interaction steps distance for the selected cell types. The network depth can be varied by updating the number in the box of Network Settings. The GRN is based on C3NET algorithm [1]. Each links are the highest association scores for one of the genes of gene pairs. The numbers near the checked boxes refer to the numbers of links contributed by each of the cell types. One can uncheck and remove the links of any of the cell types from the network. The network topology is dynamic and can be re-arranged by pulling a node with a mouse. The solid and dashed lines refer to positive and negative correlations, respectively. Right clicking a node will bring up a menu with additional options. The arrows show the most likely direction of regulation between gene pairs.
