@TakaInoue5 @David_Gokhman Over the past five years, while building a new lab at the Weizmann Institute of Science, assembling an exceptionally talented team, and establishing wonderful collaborations, I’ve had the privilege of contributing to this ambitious project as it became a reality.

Very happy to share this remarkable moment for our lab!

In brief, we found that human-specific regulatory changes reducing GAG biosynthesis may have contributed both to skeletal adaptations and to our vulnerability to osteoarthritis.

@TakaInoue5 @David_Gokhman On a personal note, I am incredibly proud and grateful to have been part of this journey.
When I joined David’s lab, this was one of the lab’s dream projects.

Denisovans or their close relatives identified in the fossil record using a gene regulatory phenotyping method. Now out:

Given two genomes, can you tell who’s taller or more prone to a disease? How confident can you be? A fresh take on phenotypic inference, now out in @NatureComms :

Last year, we posted a preprint providing the first genetic evidence that the Harbin skull likely belonged to a Denisovan: https://t.co/DSsB6tkkM7 Today, DNA evidence provided the final proof: https://t.co/guMUY7k8lx

@haim_nitzan @FASEBorg Amazing 👏

[David Gokhman @David_Gokhman]

We find evidence that Harbin, Dali, and Kabwe are likely Denisovans or their close kin! Using gene regulation, which predicts traits with >85% accuracy, we scanned the fossil record and found a remarkable fit to predicted Denisovan anatomy. See🧵👇 https://t.co/t6gfQhL01O

Very nice exemplification of an approach developed by @David_Gokhman & collaborators, exploiting gene regulatory phenotyping to identify candidate Denisovan fossils:

היי אשמח לעזרתכם, מחפש מסגרת בתחום החינוך שאפשר להתנדב בה פעם בשבוע, עדיפות לשישי בוקר ובאזור תל אביב
קצת על עצמי, סטודנט לתואר שני בביולוגיה חישובית (אבל יכול לעזור גם בנושאים אחרים), בעל ניסיון בהדרכה ובן אדם בסדר סה״כ
תודה רבה :)

Predicting precise phenotypes from genomes is hard. But, predicting which individual has the higher phenotypic value is surprisingly achievable! A novel approach to phenotypic inference:

If you want to understand how little the Palestinian ‘activists’ and sympathizers in the world know about the reality in Israel - spend 5 minutes watching what happened when I arrived at the University of Auckland to "register" for their Palestinian club...

We are looking to hire a lab manager. We study the genetic changes that underlie human adaptations and diseases. Prior experience in tissue culture and mol genetics required. Knowledge of making fire without matches - advantage;) DM if interested or visit https://t.co/YJDjM6SvYe
