Transcription is not required for the initiation or maintenance of X decondensation. a H4K16ac immunofluorescence stained nuclei of XO embryos and XO embryos fed ama-1(RNAi). H4K16ac levels did not decrease in XO embryos fed ama-1(RNAi). b Plot of quantified percentages of nuclear volume occupied by X in XO embryos fed vector RNAi (black) and XO embryos fed ama-1(RNAi; gray). Each point represents one embryo (n = 10 nuclei per embryo). Error bars indicate standard deviation. c Quantification of the percentage of nuclear volume occupied by adult males fed vector RNAi (n = 20) and ama-1(RNAi; large subunit of RNA polymerase II; n = 20). Error bars indicate standard deviation
