X-Chromosome Inactivation (XCI) involves epigenetic pathways to equalize X-linked gene expression between female and male mammals. XCI is dynamic in female B cells, as cytological enrichment of Xist RNA and heterochromatic marks on the inactive X-chromosome (Xi) are absent in naive B cells yet return following mitogenic stimulation. Here, we asked whether any heterochromatic histone marks are present on the Xi in naive B cells, and whether Xist RNA is required for their deposition and retention following stimulation. We find that the Xi in naive B cells is depleted for H2AK119Ub and H3K9me3 but enriched for DNA methylation and H3K27me3, which maintain an Xist RNA-dependent epigenetic memory of XCI. Upon stimulation, Xist-independent H3K27me3 and Xist-dependent H2AK119Ub modifications accumulate across the Xi with temporal and spatial specificity. Our findings reveal the importance of Xist RNA, H3K27me3, and H2AK119Ub marks for the epigenetic integrity of X-linked genes across the Xi following female B cell stimulation.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
