Conserved Cis-Regulatory Modules Control Robustness in Msx1 Expression at Single-Cell Resolution.

abstract：:As most genes are shared between females and males, DNA methylation is assumed to play a crucial role in sex-biased gene expression. DNA methylation exclusively occurs at CpG dinucleotides, and therefore, we would expect that CpG density around transcription start sites (TSSs) relate to sex-biased gene expression. Her...
