A common assay to detect the outcome of this process is to perform an HpaII digestion followed by PCR of a series of CAG repeats in the polymorphic HUMARA locus. Mutations in HRPT cause results of this process to appear biased in blood due to negative selection. This process uses LINE-1 elements as "way stations" or "boosters," and Tsix (tee-six) is one important gene for controlling it. The "propagation" stage of this process requires PRC2 binding to H3K27 tri-methyl histones, results in the recruitment of macroH2A, and relies on a processed, polyadenylated non-coding RNA called XIST [ex-ist]. If this process is skewed, it can result in carriers of diseases like G6PD deficiency and factor VIII deficiency manifesting symptoms. The randomness of this process gives c

FTP, name this process discovered by Mary Lyon, which occurs in the nuclei of human females and results in the production of a Barr Body.
