Gene

In biology, a gene is a sequence of DNA or RNA that codes for a molecule that has a function.

Gene silencing

Gene silencing is the regulation of gene expression in a cell to prevent the expression of a certain gene.

Wellcome Trust Principal Research Fellow

Wellcome Trust Principal Research Fellowships are prestigious research fellowships awarded to scientists who are recognised by the Wellcome Trust as having "international standing with an established track record in research at the highest level." Awards provide salary and research programme funding in full for seven years initially, and may then be renewed with the host institution contributing 50%.

X chromosome

The X chromosome is one of the two sex-determining chromosomes (allosomes) in many organisms, including mammals (the other is the Y chromosome), and is found in both males and females.

X-inactivation

X-inactivation (also called lyonization) is a process by which one of the copies of the X chromosome present in female mammals is inactivated.

XIST

Xist (X-inactive specific transcript) is an RNA gene on the X chromosome of the placental mammals that acts as a major effector of the X inactivation process.
