Whole chromosome level of X chromosome inactivation differs between the placenta and adult tissues in humans

Unphased median allele balance is plotted for the placenta in this study (purple) and for 45 adult tissues in the GTEx dataset (blue). Each point of the violin plot is the median allele balance for each sample. Because there are no multiple site samplings for the GTEx data, unphased allele balance was computed. Here, the pseudoautosomal regions of the X chromosome are removed.
