Abstract
X chromosome inactivation silences one X chromosome in female mammals. However, this silencing is incomplete, and some genes escape X inactivation. We describe methods to determine the chromosome-wide X inactivation status of genes in tissues or cell lines derived from mice using a combination of skewing of X inactivation and allele-specific analyses of gene expression based on RNA-seq.Entities:
