DNA methylation
A post-replication process. Cytosine residues in CpG sequences are methylated, forming gene-specific methylation patterns. Methylation of promoter regions correlates with gene expression patterns.

The shut-down of the XIST locus on the active X chromosome is done by methylating XIST regulatory sequences. DNA methylation usually results in gene repression so methylation permanently blocks XIST expression and permits the continued expression of ...
