Targeting determinants of dosage compensation in Drosophila. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2006 The dosage compensation complex (DCC) in Drosophila melanogaster is responsible for up-regulating transcription from the single male X chromosome to equal the transcription from the two X chromosomes in females.

Sex Chromosome Dosage Compensation in Insects [PDF]
InsectsDosage compensation (DC) is of crucial importance in balancing the sex-linked gene expression between males and females. It serves to guarantee that the proteins or other enzymatic products encoded by the sex chromosome exhibit quantitative parity ...

Transcription dosage compensation does not occur in Down syndrome [PDF]
BMC Biology, 2023 Background The increase in DNA copy number in Down syndrome (DS; caused by trisomy 21) has led to the DNA dosage hypothesis, which posits that the level of gene expression is proportional to the gene’s DNA copy number.

Gene dosage compensation: Origins, criteria to identify compensated genes, and mechanisms including sensor loops as an emerging systems‐level property in cancer [PDF]
Cancer Medicine, 2023 The gene dosage compensation hypothesis presents a mechanism through which the expression of certain genes is modulated to compensate for differences in the dose of genes when additional chromosomes are present.

General lack of global dosage compensation in ZZ/ZW systems? Broadening the perspective with RNA-seq [PDF]
BMC Genomics, 2011 Background Species with heteromorphic sex chromosomes face the challenge of large-scale imbalance in gene dose. Microarray-based studies in several independent male heterogametic XX/XY systems suggest that dosage compensation mechanisms are in place to ...

Sex chromosome dosage compensation in a sex reversing skink is not influenced by sexual phenotype [PDF]
BMC GenomicsBackground Lizards have sex determination systems that can differ between even closely related species. These include XY and ZW systems, and thermolabile systems where genes and temperature interact to determine sex.

Dynamic dosage changes in X-linked transposable elements during mammalian dosage compensation [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsIn mammals, X-linked dosage compensation involves X-chromosome inactivation to balance X chromosome dosage between males and females, and hyperactivation of the remaining X-chromosome (Xa-hyperactivation) to achieve X-autosome balance in both sexes ...

Chromatin accessibility, not 5mC methylation covaries with partial dosage compensation in crows. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2023 The evolution of genetic sex determination is often accompanied by degradation of the sex-limited chromosome. Male heterogametic systems have evolved convergent, epigenetic mechanisms restoring the resulting imbalance in gene dosage between diploid ...
