Meet The Shielded Plasmid🛡️🧬 Our new @Nature paper reveals how plasmids outsmart bacterial defenses during conjugation. It's all about being in the right place at the right time! The positioning of anti-defense genes boosts transfer efficiency🧵(1/7) nature.com/articles/s4158…

🎉Happy to share our new paper! Intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) in transcription factors (TFs) encode for complex binding patterns using diverse sequence grammars and interaction types. (1/9) academic.oup.com/nar/advance-ar… @bhurieva @Divya_KKumar guided by @FJonas15 @NaamaBarkai

Join our Group ! We are looking for one PhD student to explore the "Molecular Basis of Transcription Factor Evolution". Find out more here and apply: drive.google.com/file/d/1nd_pPv…

Check out our new paper: “Intrinsically disordered regions of the Msn2 transcription factor encode multiple functions using interwoven sequence grammars” published @NAR_Open. The work of @MindelVladimir and @SagieBr. academic.oup.com/nar/advance-ar…

🔥Hot from the oven🔥! Our new paper led by @OffirLupo on the role of TF cooperativity in binding specificity is now out in @CellSystemsCP see🧵below for highlights (1/10) @WeizmannScience authors.elsevier.com/c/1hVy68YyDfmx…

New @NAR paper by @FJonas15 & Gilad defining main activities of histone chaperones & chromatin remodelers in nucleosome exchange 🐣 Do they mainly incorporate nucleosomes displaced by transcription? Increase exchange in promoters to enable TF binding? doi.org/10.1093/nar/gk…

Interested in discovering the genetic changes that made us human? Our lab is looking for students and postdocs! 👩‍🔬👨‍🔬 gokhmanlab.com please RT!

🥳🎉We are delighted to share our new paper that deciphers the complementary strategies by DNA binding domains (DBDs) and IDRs in directing transcription factor (TF) target specificity. 🎉🥳 cell.com/molecular-cell… @Divya_KKumar @FJonas15 @BarkaiNaama

Excited to share our paper 'The molecular grammar of protein disorder guiding genome-binding locations' . A great team effort with @FJonas15 and Miri Carmi 👏. I'm grateful for the support of the @BarkaiLab 🙏. Check out the thread below for more details!👇🧵
