A non-coding RNA termed Rsx , which has properties consistent with a role in X-chromosome inactivation, is identified in the marsupial Monodelphis domestica . Marsupial X-chromosome inactivation In both eutherian (placental) and metatherian (marsupial) mammals, XX females undergo X-chromosome inacti...
