The present invention provides oligomeric compounds. Certain such oligomeric compounds are useful for hybridizing to a complementary nucleic acid, including but not limited, to nucleic acids in a cell. In certain embodiments, hybridization results in modulation of the amount, activity, or expression of the target nucleic acid in a cell. In certain embodiments, hybridization results in selective modulation of the amount, activity, or expression of a target Huntingtin gene or Huntingtin transcript in a cell.
