We welcome CMB rotation student Lindsey Soles. Lindsey will investigate the mechanisms of position-dependent splicing.

We like to welcome our newest member Mark Callaghan.

Congrats to Angela, Francisco, Maliheh and Hossein for publishing their methods chapters in Methods Mol Bio.

Check out beautiful Southern California!.  From canyon to beach – just around our doorsteps. Link to pictures.

We are proud to share the news that second year graduate student Francisco Carranza received a 2017 National Science Foundation (NSF) Graduate Research Fellowship Program (GRFP) Fellowship.  Way to go Francisco!

We welcome ICS graduate student Elmira Foroiuzmand as a new member to the lab. Elmira is a computational biologist who will contribute to many of our projects.

Maliheh’s collaboration with the Adams laboratory at UCSD analyzing the regulation of phosphorylation during pre-mRNA splicing was published in Molecular Cell (Release of SR Proteins from CLK1 by SRPK1: A Symbiotic Kinase System for Phosphorylation Control of Pre-mRNA Splicing).  Here is a link to the paper: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1097276516302209

We welcome graduate students Francisco Carranza and Hossein Shenasa to the Hertel Lab. Go get some data!

Maliheh’s paper analyzing the functional connection between alternative pre-mRNA splicing and alternative polyadenylation was published in RNA Biology (Coupling between alternative polyadenylation and alternative splicing is limited to terminal introns).  Here is a link to the paper: http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/15476286.2016.1191727

Will’s paper analyzing the effects of silent mutations on pre-mRNA splicing efficiency was published in JBC (The Silent Sway of Splicing by Synonymous Substitutions.).  Here is a link to the paper: http://www.jbc.org/content/early/2015/09/30/jbc.M115.684035
