Deletion of an X-inactivation boundary disrupts adjacent gene silencing.
In mammalian females, genes on one X are largely silenced by X-chromosome inactivation (XCI), although some "escape" XCI and are expressed from both Xs. Escapees can closely juxtapose X-inactivated genes and provide a tractable model for assessing boundary function at epigenetically regula...
