| Summary | A mechanism for regulating chromosome-wide gene expression based on the ratio of autosomes to sex chromosomes. In C. elegans, the hermaphrodite is XX with two X chromosomes while the male is X0 with only one X chromosome. Dosage compensation machinery in these nematodes reduces expression of genes on both X chromosomes in the hermaphrodite. | ||||
