Figure 5From: XIST-induced silencing of flanking genes is achieved by additive action of repeat a monomers in human somatic cellsCompensatory changes in putative stems of repeat A hairpin sequences of 27 mammals. (A) All bona fide repeat A core sequences that deviated in sequence from the canonical stem 1 sequence were categorized by their potential to form a base pair with a reciprocally-mutated base within the same repeat A unit or within another unit. (B) As in (A), but stem 2 is analyzed.Back to article page
