16.7 female ES cells were used to generate Xist repeat E deletion mutant [30 (link)]. ES cells were grown under standard conditions as described except for the addition of 2i inhibitors (3 μM CHIR99021 and 1 μM PD0325901, LC laboratories) [28 (link)]. Xist expression from tet-inducible Xist cDNA transgene in T20 cell lines was induced by adding 1 μg/ml doxycycline (Dox) in the culture medium for differentiation for 2 days [21 (link)]. Cre-LoxP mediated insertion of the inducible Xist cDNA transgenes was done as described [21 (link)].
