Abstract
The X and Y sex chromosomes represent one of the key cellular differences between male and female. Here, we introduce the unique, silent nature of the inactive X in female cells (and its exceptions) and summarise recent insights to the molecular processes taking place on the X chromosome. We are curious to learn how these mechanisms drive sex differences in neurodevelopmental disorders.
