  2. Barr body - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barr_body

    Barr bodies can be seen in neutrophils at the rim of the nucleus. In humans with more than one X chromosome, the number of Barr bodies visible at interphase is always one fewer than the total number of X chromosomes. For example, people with Klinefelter syndrome (47, XXY) have a single Barr body, and people with a 47, XXX karyotype have two ...

  3. Sex-chromosome dosage compensation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sex-chromosome_dosage...

    Replicating the actual gene is impossible; thus organisms instead equalize the expression from each gene. For example, in humans, female (XX) cells randomly silence the transcription of one X chromosome, and transcribe all information from the other, expressed X chromosome. Thus, human females have the same number of expressed X-linked genes ...

  4. X-inactivation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-inactivation

    The Xist gene is expressed at high levels on the Xi and is not expressed on the Xa. [39] Many other genes escape inactivation; some are expressed equally from the Xa and Xi, and others, while expressed from both chromosomes, are still predominantly expressed from the Xa. [40] [41] [42] Up to one quarter of genes on the human Xi are capable of ...

  5. Nuclear sexing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_sexing

    Nuclear sexing can be done by identifying Barr body, a drumstick like appendage located in the rim of the nucleus in somatic cells. Barr body is the inactive X chromosome which lies condensed in the nucleus of somatic cells. A typical human (or other XY-based organism) female has only one Barr body per somatic cell, while a typical human male ...

  6. X-chromosome reactivation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-chromosome_reactivation

    X chromosome reactivation (XCR) is the process by which the inactive X chromosome (the Xi) is re-activated in the cells of eutherian female mammals. Therian female mammalian cells have two X chromosomes, while males have only one, requiring X-chromosome inactivation (XCI) for sex-chromosome dosage compensation.

  7. Sex verification in sports - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sex_verification_in_sports

    The Barr body is indicated by the arrow. They are only present in cells with XX chromosomes. This was the evidence searched for in Barr body tests of samples from female athlete's inner cheeks. From 1958 to 1992, all female athletes underwent mandatory sex verification tests before taking part in any IAAF or IOC event.

  8. X chromosome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_chromosome

    The Barr body is indicated by the arrow, it identifies the inactive X (Xi). The X chromosome in humans spans more than 153 million base pairs (the building material of DNA ). It represents about 800 protein-coding genes compared to the Y chromosome containing about 107 protein-coding genes (42 exclusive protein-coding genes), [ 8 ] out of ...
