Didi Amar has left the group for a postdoc in Stanford. Didi has been a leader in the group for a long time – as a master, doctoral and postdoctoral student. We wish him great success in the next steps.

Roye Rozov’s new paper “Faucet: streaming de novo assembly graph construction” was accepted to RECOMB-seq 2017 and will be presented in Hong Kong in May.

David Pellow’s paper on improving the performance of minimizers, with Y. Oresntein and C. Kingsford’s team, has been accepted to ISMB 2017 and will be presented in Prague in July.

Read our new paper in Molecular Systems Biology in collaboration with Rohs and Taipale groups analyzing shape readout for over 400 transcription factors using HT-Selex data.

We welcome Nimrod who is joining the group as an MSc student, after a BSc in Computer Science from TAU.

Read our new report with colleagues from MIT and CMU on the properties of minimizers using lexicographic, random k-mer ordering and small universal hitting sets. Our analysis shows how to significantly improve the performance of minimizers.

Read Didi Amar’s and Shai Izraeli’s paper on classifying 20 different cancer subtypes based on mutations only, with applications to cancer of unknown primary, genetic interactions and more.

Our paper on classification cancers via mutations is one of six papers accepted for oral presentations in the Highlight Track of RECOMB in May 2017 in Hong Kong.

The full version of Roye Rozov’s paper on Recycler, our algorithm for plasmid discovery, has been published in Bioinformatics.

Read Ron Zeira’s paper on sorting by cuts, joins and duplications in JCB. This is the full version of the CPM 2015 extended abstract.
