Lab news

Roye’s paper, describing a streaming de novo assembly graph construction algorithm, has just appeared in Bioinformatics.

Congratulations to Tom Hait, who was awarded the MSc degree, co-supervised by Rani Elkon and Ron Shamir.

Congratulations to Roye Rozov for being awarded the Deutsch Excellence Scholarship for PhD students in the School of Computer Science, TAU. The awarding ceremony will take place on Thursday May 18, at 15:15, in the Open Space Lab in the School of Computer Science.

Read the paper by Ron, Meirav and colleagues on complexity and algorithms for copy number evolution models – between two genomes, and for k genomes forming a tree phylogeny.

Read Kobi Perl’s paper on the connection between the transcriptome and proteome in non-proliferating tissues.

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.
