Heartbroken and shocked. Talented and wonderful Liam who was about to start her Master's degree in my lab, was killed in an accident in Thailand. שבורת לב והמומה. ליאם המוכשרת והמבריקה שעמדה להתחיל תואר שני במעבדה שלי, נהרגה בתאונת דרכים בתאילנד. www.ynet.co.il/news/article...

🚨Our study on characterising the within-host SARS-CoV-2 evolution during persistent infections is now out in @lancetmicrobe.bsky.social! 👉 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Given incredibly difficult, conflict-filled years, it makes me proud to present @adibz.bsky.social beautiful work on intra-host evolution in SARS-CoV-2. Briefly, we find evolution differs among patients: in some nothing happens; in others rampant adaptive evolution. academic.oup.com/ve/article/d...

Our new virus cheater paper is out!! Briefly we find point mutant cheaters and their secondary mutations that “pull the strings” of the virus replication cycle in ingenious ways! track.smtpsendmail.com/9032119/c?p=...

📢 New preprint, first one here on Bluesky! We used accurate deep sequencing to track mutations in a cohort of nine immunocompromised individuals with chronic SARS-CoV-2 (SC2) infections. @natalieru.bsky.social @adibz.bsky.social www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Our Big Fantastic Virus Database (BFVD) is now published NAR! It contains protein structure predictions of major viral clades, enhanced by petabase-scale homology search and it's explorable on the web. 🌐 bfvd.foldseek.com 💾 bfvd.steineggerlab.workers.dev 📄 academic.oup.com/nar/advance-...
