gene, contains more silent genes which influences measuring the amount of influence active genes have. RNA-seq data was preformed and the autosomal and X linked gene outputs were significantly different. This agrees with the fact that X dosage compensation is in respect to autosomes. The loss of an X chromosome leads to an aneuploidy effect which disrupts the entire cell in Drosophila. This effect leads to the disruption of MSL (male specific lethal) from binding onto its target site. To overcome this, the X chromosome is first hyperactivated. Then, the hyperactivated X chromosome facilitates the inversion of the aneuploidy effect to create a gene expression equality between males and females. An aneuploidy effect is when the number of chromosomes is increased or decreased from normal. Natural selection occurs efficiently in Drosophila so the genes that are dosage-sensitive are increased. The dosage-sensitive genes vary from species to species. References Genetics
