In vitro cytogenetic testing of an organoselenium compound and its sulfur analogue in cultured rat bone marrow cells (2004)

Jacob, Jacob H, Khalil, Ahmad M, Maslat, Ahmed O

Abstract Background Selenium (Se) is a non-metal element, occurring in varying degrees in the environment and it has been found to be a component of several enzymes. Different selenium compounds have...

Dynamic histone modifications mark sex chromosome inactivation and reactivation during mammalian spermatogenesis

Khalil, Ahmad M., Boyar, Fatih Z., Driscoll, Daniel J.

Based on the formation of the XY body at pachytene and expression studies of a few X-linked genes, the X and Y chromosomes seem to undergo transcriptional inactivation during mammalian...

A Novel RNA Transcript with Antiapoptotic Function Is Silenced in Fragile X Syndrome

Khalil, Ahmad M., Faghihi, Mohammad Ali, Modarresi, Farzaneh, Brothers, Shaun P., Wahlestedt, Claes

Several genome-wide transcriptomics efforts have shown that a large percentage of the mammalian genome is transcribed into RNAs, however, only a small percentage (1–2%) of these RNAs is translated...

Many human large intergenic noncoding RNAs associate with chromatin-modifying complexes and affect gene expression

Khalil, Ahmad M., Guttman, Mitchell, Huarte, Maite, Garber, Manuel, Raj, Arjun, Rivea Morales, Dianali, ...

We recently showed that the mammalian genome encodes >1,000 large intergenic noncoding (linc)RNAs that are clearly conserved across mammals and, thus, functional. Gene expression patterns have...
