I will be co-organizing RECOMBseq with Camille Marchet @[email protected] this year in Seoul. We look forward to receiving your submissions!

Excited to share FiSSC, a new method to find a smallest sequence cover of sets of degenerate reads. We prove that the problem is NP-hard, and suggest filtering steps and an ILP solution. We apply it to RNA A-to-I editing data to gauge biological complexity dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/36…

Proud to receive this prestigious recognition from my university Bar-Ilan University

Your last chance to submit an abstract for a poster presentation at RECOMB-seq 2025!

Finally fulfilled my life-long dream of giving a (too dense) talk at the Israeli Bioinformatics Symposium #IBS2025. Had a blast in the short time I had as I had to leave to #RECOMB2025 #RECOMBseq. My next dream: giving the local keynote!
