We are broadly interested in the structure, function and evolution of genomes. More specifically, we study the topics of telomere biology, cellular immortality, repetitive DNA, genome stability, genome silencing and small RNAs using the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans as a model system. C. elegans has a relatively compact ~100 MB genome whose seque...
Most transposons are silenced by a class of small RNAs called piRNAs that interact with the conserved Argonaute protein Piwi that is present in germ cells. We discovered that dysfunction of the C. elegans Piwi ortholog PRG-1 displays normal fertility for several generations, but then fertility declines, ultimately resulting in complete sterility af...
We exploited mutants that become progressively sterile to study telomerase-mediated telomere repeat addition, deficiency for which in humans results in transgenerational telomere erosion accompanied by lethal diseases anemia or pulmonary fibrosis. Moreover, telomere erosion may be broadly relevant to human cellular aging because telomerase is silen...
We studied nuclear foci formed by the C. elegans orthologs of the Protection of Telomeres 1 (Pot1) telomere binding protein, POT-1 and POT-2 (Fig. 1). C. elegans telomeric foci normally vanish in 1 cell embryos, but mutation of pot-1 and pot-2telomere binding proteins results in gametes that alter the expression pattern of Pot1 foci for up to 6 gen...
Shawn Ahmed is a professor of genetics and biology at UNC who studies telomere biology, genome silencing, and epigenetic inheritance. He uses C. elegans as a model system to investigate the structure, function and evolution of genomes and their relation to stress, aging and disease.
