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…


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…


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 @mkrupovic & 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…
