Welcome!

I’m Kaining Hu (胡恺宁). I obtained my PhD in Crop Genetics and Breeding from the Huazhong Agricultural University in 2019, under the guidance of Prof. Jinxing Tu. My doctoral dissertation investigated rolling-cycle DNA transposon (Helitron) in Brassicaceae species and the gene evolution of Brassica napus.

After joining the Zhang lab, I’m interested in the evolution of cassette exons, and nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) associated with alternative splicing in brain development.
