🚀 Excited to share our latest work in @CellCellPress : "From big data and experimental models to clinical trials: Iterative strategies in microbiome research!" 🦠🔬 (1/) authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S00…

If you have been using #anvio to analyze your microbial pangenomes, we have a new program for you to calculate rarefaction curves or Heaps' Law fit for your gene clusters: anvio.org/help/main/prog… Sorry it took this long, but it will run on any existing anvi'o pangenome.

If you would like to apply for a post-doc Marie Curie grant to study intercellular mechanisms of communication in marine cyanobacteria please get in touch with me 😄 Further info: euraxess.ec.europa.eu/jobs/hosting/s…

It’s been a tough few weeks. My 10yo daughter was diagnosed with a very rare, aggressive cancer called interdigitating dendritic cell sarcoma (IDCS). I’m reaching out to identify clinicians/patients who have encountered pediatric IDCS, indeterminate dendritic cell histiocytosis or other (non-LCH) histiocytic sarcomas cases. I'm trying to understand non-surgical chemo and targeted therapy options, new pathology markers to better diagnose subtypes/treatments, and any data on progression in pediatric patients. Please feel free to share – I’m trying to cast a wide net due to the rarity of this condition and how little is known. People can contact me directly at my first name (as written in my profile) at octant.bio.

It was amazing working on this cool paper with JB Raina, Justin Seymour, Maeva Bruner and others. The paper sheds light on the chemical partterns that drive chemotaxis across the bacterial domain @NYUADResearch @NYUAD_Science @NYUAbuDhabi @MooreFound nature.com/articles/s4146…

Senior Lecturer (Tenure-Track) position @UofHaifa Marine Technologies Department. Seeking PhD researchers in #Engineering w/ expertise in #marinetech, #robotics, #AI & #underwater communication systems. 📅 Apply by April 1, 2025 ℹ️ Details: bit.ly/42k6YXv

I'm very happy to report that @mschecht_bio's PhD work is now online as a pre-print: "Ribosomal protein phylogeography offers quantitative insights into the efficacy of genome-resolved surveys of microbial communities" biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Aaand here's a little 🧵 about it.

Dang. Must-read paper.

Uni Oldenburg is starting a genomics facility, and we are looking for a bioinformatician. uol.de/en/job/bioinfo… The position is initially for 3 years, but there are chances of permanency after the 3 years. Please share!

Very excited to share final version of our paper! What forces shape evolution of cross-feeding among planktonic ocean microbes, and how does it in turn drive self-organization of biogeochemical cycles? These are the questions we explore here: science.org/doi/full/10.11…

We wrote a new review paper in @TrendsMicrobiol on recently developed bioinformatic tools that facilitate elucidating protein functions in the era of big genomics data. sciencedirect.com/science/articl… This is the 1st paper of 2 talented students Shani Cheskis and Avital Akerman.

שמחה לשתף בכתבה ב"הארץ" על מחקר בו גילינו כי מעגל חישה מכנית הפועל בתאי השלד של קיפוד הים דומה בתיפקודו למעגל שגורם לתאי גזע אנושיים להתמיין לתאי עצם. אותו מעגל מופעל בתאי שריר, וגורם להסתיידות עורקים פתולוגית ומכאן שהבנה טובה שלו עשויה להוביל לפריצות דרך בטיפול במחלות הסתיידות פתולוגיות. המחקר יתפרסם בימים הקרובים בPNAS. haaretz.co.il/science/biolog…
