Xist is required for X inactivation. To study the initiation of X inactivation, we have generated a full-length mouse Xist cDNA transgene and an inducible expression system facilitating controlled Xist expression in ES cells and differentiated cultures. In ES cells, transgenic Xist RNA was stable and caused long-range transcriptional repression in cis. Repression was reversible and dependent on continued Xist expression in ES cells and early ES cell differentiation. By 72 hr of differentiation, ...[more]
