Silencing one X chromosome is essential for the development of female mammals, but the regulation of this process appears to vary between species. In the mouse, which has thus far been the leading model system in the field, X chromosome inactivation (XCI) is tightly coupled to pluripotency and the underlying mechanisms have just begun to be deciphered. However, mechanistic aspects of XCI regulation in other species have yet to be thoroughly investigated. Here we review current knowledge of the developmental regulation of XCI in mice and humans and discuss the extent to which the intimate link between XCI and pluripotency extends beyond rodents.
