Allelic inactivation regulates olfactory receptor gene expression

A Chess, I Simon, H Cedar, R Axel - Cell, 1994 - cell.com
We suggest a model in which a hierarchy of controls is exerted on the family of odorant receptor
genes to assure that a sensory neuron expresses a single receptor from a family of 1000 …

Mechanisms and consequences of widespread random monoallelic expression

A Chess - Nature Reviews Genetics, 2012 - nature.com
Although random monoallelic expression has been known for decades to affect genes on
the X chromosome in female placental mammals, until a few years ago it was thought that …

Gene expression elucidates functional impact of polygenic risk for schizophrenia

…, J Zhu, B Zhang, PF Sullivan, A Chess… - Nature …, 2016 - nature.com
Over 100 genetic loci harbor schizophrenia-associated variants, yet how these variants
confer liability is uncertain. The CommonMind Consortium sequenced RNA from dorsolateral …

[PDF][PDF] An architectural role for a nuclear noncoding RNA: NEAT1 RNA is essential for the structure of paraspeckles

…, SA Sara, AW Ensminger, AH Fox, A Chess… - Molecular cell, 2009 - cell.com
NEAT1 RNA, a highly abundant 4 kb ncRNA, is retained in nuclei in approximately 10 to 20
large foci that we show are completely coincident with paraspeckles, nuclear domains …

[HTML][HTML] A screen for nuclear transcripts identifies two linked noncoding RNAs associated with SC35 splicing domains

…, CM Clemson, CR Lynch, JB Lawrence, A Chess - BMC genomics, 2007 - Springer
Background Noncoding RNA species play a diverse set of roles in the eukaryotic cell. While
much recent attention has focused on smaller RNA species, larger noncoding transcripts are …

Gene body-specific methylation on the active X chromosome

A Hellman, A Chess - science, 2007 - science.org
Differential DNA methylation is important for the epigenetic regulation of gene expression.
Allele-specific methylation of the inactive X chromosome has been demonstrated at promoter …

Widespread monoallelic expression on human autosomes

A Gimelbrant, JN Hutchinson, BR Thompson, A Chess - Science, 2007 - science.org
Monoallelic expression with random choice between the maternal and paternal alleles
defines an unusual class of genes comprising X-inactivated genes and a few autosomal gene …

Monoallelic gene expression in mammals

A Chess - Annual Review of Genetics, 2016 - annualreviews.org
Monoallelic expression not due to cis-regulatory sequence polymorphism poses an intriguing
problem in epigenetics because it requires the unequal treatment of two segments of DNA …

Identification of candidate Drosophila olfactory receptors from genomic DNA sequence

Q Gao, A Chess - Genomics, 1999 - Elsevier
We have taken advantage of the availability of a large amount of Drosophila genomic DNA
sequence in the Berkeley Drosophila Genome Project database (∼1/5 of the genome) to …
