Fellow microbial immunity, mobile elements, and plasmid enthusiasts: the paper of our wonderful @BruriaSamuel on anti-defense genes in plasmids is now published in @Nature!!!
Check out her thread below for highlights of our new results.

התחלתי את היום במסיק אצל החקלאים המדופלמים @DPolishook@HSberro .
מחפשים ידיים עובדות ברמות מאיר (הפלסטינאים הקבועים מן הסתם לא מקבלים עכשיו אישורי עבודה)
בוקר טוב,
אני מחפש סטודנט או פוסטדוק (בעדיפות דוקטורנט\ית) מתחום הביולוגיה החישובית (ביואינפורמטיקה) להצטרף למעבדה שלנו ברחובות https://t.co/x4bNDdpXtp אנו מגלים תפקידים של גנים מעניינים בחידקים, למשל גנים לרעלנים חדשים בעלי שימושים אנטיביוטיים בחקלאות ורפואה.
אודה לשיתוף!

Thrilled to see this published! It was great working on this project with @JoshTycko, @AlisonFanton, @pdhsu, @BintuLacra, Mike Bassik, Ami Bhatt and others these past few years. It has definitely been the highlight of my scientific career!

Our new preprint on systematic discovery of polymorphic toxins is out!
This is one of my favorite works coming from our lab, and led by two talented students, Nimrod Nachmias and @NoamDotan1

Our preprint is out in bioRxiv. My students Alex Geller and David Zlotkin did a fantastic work describing the general features of T6SS in nature and discovering *10* candidate antibacterial T6SS effectors (T6Es).

Excited to publish with Kay Holekamp (@MaraHyenas ) and Erol Akcay (@akcayerol ) a new paper on social inheritance in spotted hyenas.

A thread on how it happened:
We are looking for a talented fungal biologist to join our very nice department in Rehovot, Israel. Everyone is welcome to apply. There are several foreign PIs in the department and faculty.
Great work from Stephen Nayfach, @DaviPaez, & special thanks to all our great collaborators @PhilHugenholtz @HSberro@mfgrp Amy Proal, Ami Bhatt and the rest of the team. Importing all the sequences to IMG/VR soon. #virome#human_gut https://t.co/J9yX7k2o3K
Happy to share results of my last 3 years of work on the Thoeris defense system - an amazing connection between bacterial and plant immunity!
