Francisco and Hossein’s study on exon length-dependent splice site selection has been published
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….Continue Reading Francisco and Hossein’s study on exon length-dependent splice site selection has been published

We welcome Dianne Lee to the lab as a new undergraduate researcher (Bio 199)…Continue Reading Welcome Dianne Lee!
Jessie’s work on the influence of 4sU labeling on splicing has been published
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….Continue Reading Jessie’s work on the influence of 4sU labeling on splicing has been published
Welcome Jessie Altieri – our new PhD student
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!…Continue Reading Welcome Jessie Altieri – our new PhD student
Hossein’s work on the allosteric regulation of U1 snRNP has been published
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….Continue Reading Hossein’s work on the allosteric regulation of U1 snRNP has been published
Congrats to Hossein for defending his thesis and for receiving the 2020 Harris S. Moyed Graduate Student Research Award
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….Continue Reading Congrats to Hossein for defending his thesis and for receiving the 2020 Harris S.
