Our paper about the mystery’s of the endemic microbes living within an endemic host is now published. Telling the interesting story of the endemic microbes living in the gut of the only aquatic iguana in the world, endemic to the Galápagos Islands.

Day 1 of our 'Science meets Art' retreat was fantastic! We had an inspiring talk from prof. Noam Mizrahi and a great visit to the @israelmuseum. Afterward, we continued our project, creating new art pieces inspired by the invisible world of microbes. 🦠

On this World Children's Day, it important to remind the world there are more than 40 children kidnapped in Gaza by Hamas-ISIS, a jihadist terror organization.

These children were kidnapped only because they were Jewish and Israeli.

We want a different ending.

כשאתה מדבר על אבא שלך שחטוף ב-01:30 בערוץ 12 ומסתבר שהיחידי שצפה הוא חבר שעשה מילואים בצנזורה.
אבל אתם לא תשכחו את החטופים. נכון?

Our new paper with the @Gogarten_Lab, led by Israela Turgeman-Grott, is finally out and shows some surprising properties of homing endonucleases within archaeal double inteins. https://t.co/5Gbz1hcJoY #Haloferax #archaea #inteins #meganucleases

חשוב להדהד את זה היום יותר מתמיד כי במלחמה הזו לראשונה הוקם בישראל חמ״ל יהודי ערבי. החמ״ל הזה פועל מרהט לסייע למשפחות יהודיות וערביות מהדרום שנפגעו בארועים. התרומות לפעילות נאספות מערבים ומיהודים, המתנדבות והמתנדבים מגיעים מה��ברה היהודית והערבית, והסיוע כמובן, לכל מי שנפגע.

🧬Check out our new exciting preprint on the amazing world of plasmids, tiny DNA entities which spread special functions such as antibiotic resistance. We tackled the long-standing question: How do plasmids spread across humans? @shaipilo @JFriedman_micro https://t.co/CAcSM46C11

Beautiful new work by the @ThePopeLab uncovering metabolic effects of rumen Protozoa.

[Phil b. Pope @ThePopeLab]

Protozoa can be 🔺50% of the microbial biomass in the rumen and have big influence on digestion and H2 production (leading to methane). BUT they are HARD to study, especially in vivo! @andersen__thea adds her PhD piece to the puzzle in @ISMEJournal https://t.co/x9LxAdKmL8… 1/6

[Ricardo Pascal @voorloopnul]

In today's date, ~1.7 million bacterial genomes are being hosted in NCBI.

Salmonella Enterica and Escherichia Coli represent around 40% of those genomes.

Considering only the species that make 1% or more , we have 12 bacteria summing to ~64% of all bacterial genomes.

[Omer Lavy @OmLavy]

It turns out that genes of gut microbes are being horizontally transferred from mothers to babies month after birth. Insightful paper by @TheXavierLab

[Xavier Lab @TheXavierLab]

Out in @CellCellPress! We expand our understanding of maternal influences on the infant gut microbiome, with potentially profound implications for immune and neurodevelopment early in life @tvatanen @DamianPlichta @MoranYassour @MGH_RI @broadinstitute https://t.co/bCQYgEh6HM

[Mizrahi Lab @LabMizrahi]

Our plasmid workshop together with @AlvSanMillan @shaipilo is embracing. Inspiring talks and conversations are taking place while sailing through the plasmid biology ocean. Thank you @LsBgu @bengurionu for the support!

[Nitzan David Fuchs @nitzandfux]

לאור הפופולאריות של השרשור על הצטלקסטן (לא זטלקסטן, תודה למתקנים) בואו נצלול למערכת, נדבר על הת׳כלס של איך היא עובדת, איך אני עובד איתה ומה אפשר לעשות. אזהרה: אין כאן שום דבר סקסי. כלום. אפס. אם אתם מחפשים פתרון פלא טכנולוגי - לא פה.
סגור? סגור.
יאללה שרשור (21).
