Abstract

Male fruitflies upregulate transcription of nearly all genes on their single X chromosome to equalize expression with the two X chromosomes in females. A new study shows that the distribution of the histone acetylation mark associated with this upregulation is much broader than that of the MSL complex responsible for depositing this mark.
