 Barr bodies can be seen in the nucleus of neutrophils, at the rim of the nucleus in female somatic cells between divisions.Someone with two X chromosomes (such as most human females) has only one Barr body per somatic cell, while someone with one X chromosome (such as most human males) has none.Mammalian X-chromosome inactivation is initiated from the X inactivation centre or "Xic", usually found near the centromere.
