📚In this video, we delve into a groundbreaking study published on July 26 in Nature Genetics by the Lymphoid Development Group at the MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences.📚 The researchers discovered that the expression of maternal or paternal X chromosomes can be selectively skewed in different parts of the body. This finding challenges the previous belief that the usage of X chromosomes is consistent throughout the body.
Using data from the 1000 Genomes Project and mouse models, the study shows that different organs may favor the maternal or paternal X chromosome, influenced by competition between cells. This phenomenon, especially noticeable in the expression of the STAG2 gene, reveals a new layer of complexity in our understanding of genetic expression and the development of specific cell types and tissues.
Join us as we explore how these insights could impact future research on X-linked genetic variants and their role in development and disease. The lead researchers, Matthias Merkenschlager and Teresa Buenaventura, share their exciting findings and the implications for our understanding of genetic diversity.
