on Our research has the support of a new NIGMS MIRA award.
on We are happy to have received a new NIH award – a NIGMS MIRA grant. We thank the research community for supporting our research efforts.
Francisco and Hossein’s study on exon length-dependent splice site selection has been published
on Hossein and Francisco collaborated to demonstrate that the exon definition and intron definition models exhibit their own splice site proximity preferences. Their work adds novel insights into alternative splice site selection.
Welcome Dianne Lee!
on We welcome Dianne Lee to the lab as a new undergraduate researcher (Bio 199)
Jessie’s work on the influence of 4sU labeling on splicing has been published
on Jessie showed that splicing analyses using metabolic labeling should be carried out with appropriate controls to differentiate between experimental and 4sU-mediated changes in splicing outcomes.
Welcome Jessie Altieri – our new PhD student
on We welcome PhD student Jessie Altieri to the Hertel lab. Jessie will evaluate if 4sU labeling influences the efficacy of RNA processing. She will also start a coronavirus project. Very exciting!
Hossein’s work on the allosteric regulation of U1 snRNP has been published
on Congrats to Hossein for getting his study on how “splicing regulators modulate splice site selection allosterically” published in RNA. Now we know another way to repress splicing.
Congrats to Hossein for defending his thesis and for receiving the 2020 Harris S. Moyed Graduate Student Research Award
on We congratulate Hossein for defending his thesis and for receiving the 2020 Harris S. Moyed Graduate Student Research Award. Hossein is off to carry out postdoctoral studies in the lab of David Bentley.
Maliheh’s work on identifying splice altering mutants has been published
on Congrats to Maliheh for getting her “Identification of splice altering mutations” study published in RNA. Such a nice story!
Welcome Jessie Altieri!
on We welcome CMB fall rotation student Jessie Altieri to the Hertel lab. Jessie will investigate if 4sU labeled RNA is processed as efficiently as unlabeled RNA. Very cool!
