New paper from the lab is now online in PNAS. This project was led by our collaborator Lynne Maquat from University of Rochester Medical Center, and Eitan Lavi from the lab helped with many analyses. In the paper, we suggest that SINEs may independently get inserted into orthologous 3'UTRs in human and mouse. We show several cases that these SINEs participate in regulating gene expression by means of Staufen-mediated mRNA decay (SMD). This is a fine example of convergent evolution of SINE-directed SMD.
