X chromosome inactivation equalizes the active X chromosomes between mammals with two X chromosomes and mammals with one X and one Y chromosome – however, the mechanisms of this inactivation have not been understood at a granular level due to the coarseness of experimental imaging. Now, researchers at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) have modeled the process on supercomputers, helping researchers to understand the exact processes of the inactivation.
