Dosage compensation in birds [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Biology, 2001
The Z and W sex chromosomes of birds have evolved independently from the mammalian X and Y chromosomes [1]. Unlike mammals, female birds are heterogametic (ZW), while males are homogametic (ZZ).

A Synthetic Sponge System Against miRNAs of the miR-17/92 Cluster Targets Transcriptional MYC Dosage Compensation in Aneuploid Cancer [PDF]

open access: yesCells
Background: Genomic instability, a hallmark of cancer, leads to copy number variations disrupting gene dosage balance and contributing to tumor progression.

When Down Is Up: Heterochromatin, Nuclear Organization and X Upregulation

open access: yesCells, 2021
Organisms with highly differentiated sex chromosomes face an imbalance in X-linked gene dosage. Male Drosophila solve this problem by increasing expression from virtually every gene on their single X chromosome, a process known as dosage compensation ...

Dosage Compensation in Mammals [PDF]

open access: yesCold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Biology, 2015
Many organisms show major chromosomal differences between sexes. In mammals, females have two copies of a large, gene-rich chromosome, the X, whereas males have one X and a small, gene-poor Y. The imbalance in expression of several hundred genes is lethal if not dealt with by dosage compensation.

Restricting dosage compensation complex binding to the X chromosomes by H2A.Z/HTZ-1. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Genetics, 2009
Dosage compensation ensures similar levels of X-linked gene products in males (XY or XO) and females (XX), despite their different numbers of X chromosomes.

Sex-specific embryonic gene expression in species with newly evolved sex chromosomes. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Genetics, 2014
Sex chromosome dosage differences between females and males are a significant form of natural genetic variation in many species. Like many species with chromosomal sex determination, Drosophila females have two X chromosomes, while males have one X and ...

No evidence for a global male-specific lethal complex-mediated dosage compensation contribution to the demasculinization of the Drosophila melanogaster X chromosome. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
In Drosophila melanogaster males, the expression of X-linked genes is regulated by mechanisms that operate on a chromosomal scale. One such mechanism, male-specific lethal complex-dependent X-linked dosage compensation, is thought to broadly enhance the ...

Concurrent X chromosome inactivation and upregulation during non-human primate preimplantation development revealed by single-cell RNA-sequencing

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
In mammals, dosage compensation of X-linked gene expression between males and females is achieved by inactivation of a single X chromosome in females, while upregulation of the single active X in males and females leads to X:autosome dosage balance ...
