Difference between Skewed X-inactivation and X-inactivation

Skewed X-inactivation vs. X-inactivation

Skewed X chromosome inactivation occurs when the inactivation of one X chromosome is favored over the other, leading to an uneven number of cells with each chromosome inactivated. X-inactivation (also called lyonization) is a process by which one of the copies of the X chromosome present in female mammals is inactivated.

Similarities between Skewed X-inactivation and X-inactivation

Skewed X-inactivation and X-inactivation have 8 things in common (in Unionpedia): DNA methylation, Dosage compensation, Genomic imprinting, Klinefelter syndrome, Marsupial, Sex linkage, Tsix, XIST.

DNA methylation

DNA methylation is a process by which methyl groups are added to the DNA molecule.

Dosage compensation

Dosage compensation is the process by which organisms equalize the expression of genes between members of different biological sexes.

Genomic imprinting

Genomic imprinting is an epigenetic phenomenon that causes genes to be expressed in a parent-of-origin-specific manner.

Klinefelter syndrome

Klinefelter syndrome (KS) also known as 47,XXY or XXY, is the set of symptoms that result from two or more X chromosomes in males.

Tsix

Tsix is a non-coding RNA gene that is antisense to the Xist RNA.

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.

Skewed X-inactivation and X-inactivation Comparison

Skewed X-inactivation has 34 relations, while X-inactivation has 84. As they have in common 8, the Jaccard index is 6.78% = 8 / (34 + 84).
