Just out in PNAS: Estimating maximal microbial growth rates from cultures, metagenomes, and single cells via codon usage patterns.pnas.org/content/118/12… JL Weissman Shengwei Hou

Excited to share our recent published paper mBio mbio.asm.org/content/12/2/e… On anode colonization processes in microbial fuel cells for substantially shorter startup times. Gophna Lab

Our paper exploring the paradoxical pattern of bacterial ureases in the gut microbiomes of patients with IBD is now published. Excellent work by Ron Ryvchin with help from Dani (Vadim) Dubinsky, both from Shmunis School of Biomedicine and Cancer Research. academic.oup.com/ecco-jcc/advan…

Come join us! The Shmunis School of Biomedicine and Cancer Research at TAU seeks excellent candidates for a tenure-track faculty position. Relevant research fields include Biotechnology, Cancer, Cell Biology, Genetics, Immunology, Microbiology, Synthetic & Systems Biology.

I am very happy to share the preprint of our latest research about a large- scale genomic investigation of E. coli strains from patients with IBD of different phenotypes (UC, CD and pouch). Uri Gophna iris dotan biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

>5000 metatranscriptomes, >111K new RNA viruses including novel RNA phage groups and 2 new candidate viral phyla, authors from 3 continents, so glad to see this huge effort finally in bioRxiv biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Dr Habean from Shomron Ben-Horin team with some intriguing data on diet ,metabolite and microbiome interaction from the SOURCE cohort #DDW2022

It's out! huge team effort only possible thanks to collaboration of so many researchers Uri Gophna Simon Roux Anna Paula Camargo Mart Krupovic & many more! So what did we learn from mining tons of metatranscriptomes for RNA viruses? and what's next for this field?🧵sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Our work showing that the #CRISPR nuclease Cas3 has an important DNA repair function in halophilic #archaea is finally in print in #microLife. Awesome work led by Guy and Israela with key contributions from Kelly Zatopec from NEB and the @Marchfelder lab. doi.org/10.1093/femsml…

Our new paper with the J. Peter Gogarten, led by Israela Turgeman-Grott, is finally out and shows some surprising properties of homing endonucleases within archaeal double inteins. tinyurl.com/4ruey3mv #Haloferax #archaea #inteins #meganucleases

CBASS is NOT an abortive-infection system, but nonetheless eliminates viruses in archaea. Great work from Deepak Kumar, Himani, Dana Vassover Noam Golan and Leah Reshef. Looking forward to feedback from the community. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
