I am happy to share our new paper on a very exciting project! 🌊🦠🌊🦠🥳 Read the thread in the quoted tweet 🔽

We are thrilled to share our latest paper, led by Amir.Fromm 🌊🌊 and Gur Hevroni (@hevronig), in collaboration with the Aylward Lab, published today in Nature Microbiology! A thread below (1/10) 🔽

We just published a short paper on iMeta to introduce SeqKit's new functionality, performance optimizations, and improved user-friendliness, since the initial publication 7 years ago. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/im…

NeoRdRp2, our HMM profile for detecting RNA viruses, has been updated on GitHub! 🦠🔬 A paper detailing the improvements will be published shortly. Check out the latest version here: github.com/shoichisakaguc… #RNAviruses #bioinformatics

We are excited to share our latest paper, led by Nir Joffe! 🥳 We explore how cell-to-cell heterogeneity of the coccolithophore Emiliania huxleyi drives host-virus coexistence 🌊academic.oup.com/ismej/article/…

Here's an incredible chance for those eyeing a postdoc stint in Israel! Moreover, our lab beckons with an exciting opportunity for researchers intrigued by fungal viruses and host adaptation. Don't miss out! 🍄

🚨Happy to share that our preprint on recommendations for virome scale studies has emerged from pre-print purgatory. Herein we outline 10 suggestions for reporting in virome studies to ensure improved clarity and reporting.

Dear Friends,
I am about to complete my PhD degree in Mycology. I am looking for a new step in my research career. I am interested in positions dedicated to #mycoviruses , #extremophils , and stress biology of #fungi . I would appreciate spreading the word🙏🏻

#research #mushrooms

Our newest preprint is right here !⬇️⬇️⬇️
#Mycovirus , like a good friend, supports its host #Aspergillus fumigatus in all spheres of life :)
It enhances fungal virulence, survival, and tolerance to stresses!

🚨Fungi enthusiasts! Check out our latest manuscript uncovering the tale of a gnarly mycovirus and its intimate bond with a deadly fungus 🍄 ⬇️ biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Check it out! A🍋lemon shaped virus and the shenanigans it causes the host. Lot's of work led by Israela Turgemann-Grott. Read Uri Gophna threads for some behind the scenes 😉

Our work on the mysterious lemon-shaped virus of Haloferax and how it evades host immunity is finally out on bioRxiv! 5 years in the making, with great work, by Israela Turgemann-Grott, Noam Golan, Uri Neri, Deepak Kumar, Doron Naki, Leah Reshef, and more. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Pre-print up! Possibly my most colourful paper yet. Looking at the highly diverse RNA virus family Picobirnaviridae, continuing the discussion on their true host range, and some proposals for classification.

Check it out on bioRxiv 👇

Our lab is hiring!

The truth is that a violent, Iran-backed sectarian paramilitary organisation controls large parts of Lebanese territory, and the civilians living there are living under the boot of that militia.

My brilliant PhD student Nufar, whose brother is a hostage in Gaza for over 80 days. Nothing prepared me to being a mentor under such a scenario. How can we even continue research in the lab?? Please help her, help us, spread this heart-breaking humanitarian call.

הציוץ הזה של איתמר קרבי הרגיז אותי מספיק בשביל שאצא מהכרבול, אקום להוציא את המחשב ואשב לכתוב תגובה ארוכה.
ואז האתר מעאפן של טוויטר מחק לי את השרשור בלי לשמור טיוטה.
ועדיין - #ניקוז זה מספיק חשוב בשביל לשרשור, אז כתבתי ב word ואני מעתיקה לכאן בחלקים.

לא חושב שוועדת השמות תוכל למצוא שם מדויק יותר

and found that a number of them could form virus-like capsids! The prettiest one was PNMA2 (check them out 😍). So we set out to characterize the cell biology and came together with our dream team Cedric🧬➰🧬Feschotte John Briggs. Simon Erlendsson resolved the atomic /3
