X Chromosome Inactivation

To establish equal levels of expressed humans between males and females, a mechanism known as dosage compensation is necessary .

Visualisation of such an inactivation is shown under further analysis. This is visualised in the nucleus of the cell whereupon a condensed structure of Barr Body is located. This assembly is a particular type of heterochromatin.

X chromosome inactivation has been widely researched, including with mouse X chromosomes
