X Chromosome Inactivation: A Breakthrough in Genetic Therapy
May 8, 2025
X chromosome inactivation plays a crucial role in the genetic landscape, particularly for females who possess two copies of this chromosome.This biological process ensures that only one X chromosome is active, effectively silencing the other, a phenomenon known as chromosomal silencing.

X Chromosome Inactivation: A Breakthrough in Genetics
April 7, 2025
X chromosome inactivation plays a crucial role in cellular function, particularly in females who carry two X chromosomes while males have only one.This unique genetic mechanism ensures that one of the two X chromosomes in females is silenced, preventing an overexpression of X-linked genes that could lead to issues such as genetic diseases.
