FIGURE 5.

Allelic exclusion and exclusivity in stochastic gene choice. (A) Schematic representation of different combinations of exclusivity in allelic and gene choice in an array of four genes. The black and gray lines represent the maternal and paternal chromosomes. The rectangles with no or black filling represent the OFF and ON expression states, respectively (B) The interallelic correlation in fibroblasts (Larsson et al., 2019). Negative correlations indicate the allelic exclusion. (C) The relation between RNA count and interallelic correlation. The genes on the chromosome X are shown in red. (D) The melanoma-associated antigen gene family is highlighted in orange among the gene families. It is the only family with negative mean interallelic correlation.
