Insert non-formatted text hereI see the benefit of merging the Xist discussion with this article, especially due to its stub nature. However, <nowiki>I'm wondering if 'Barr body' is still</nowiki> the best title for this article. The discussion of the mechanism, including the role of Xist has removed the discussion to a more general consideration of the role X-inactivation plays, whereas the Barr Body is the result of this process. The merging of the Xist article will further exaggerate this effect. I am wondering if the re-titling of the article, with the addition of more substructure, (ie. Separating the Barr Body itself, the mechanism, and the mosaic effects of X-inactivation) may make more sense.--JamesGlover 00:23, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
I agree, and suggest that the bulk of this page be moved to X-inactivation, and that X-inactivation stop being used as a re-direct to the Lyon hypothesis
