TL;DR: Using the marsupial Monodelphis domestica, Rsx (RNA-on-the-silent X), an RNA is identified that has properties consistent with a role in X-chromosome inactivation, and is found to be a large, repeat-rich RNA that is expressed only in females and is transcribed from, and coats, the inactive X chromosome.
