Associate Professor of Computer Science and Life Sciences, Bar-Ilan University
The GreedyMini paper is finally out as part of #ISMBECCB2025 proceedings: academic.oup.com/bioinformatics…. Arseny will present it on the last day (July 24th) and last session (14:20) of the HiTSeq meeting.
Excited to share our new method GreedyMini+ to generate DNA minimizers with low expected or particular density for practical k & w values: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…. Joint work with my student Ido Tziony and my colleagues @shay_gol, @matanHakrausi, and Arseny Shur #minimizers
🚨 Attention US PhDs in Bioinformatics: Interested in a postdoc in my group at Bar-Ilan University 🇮🇱 through the Fulbright Israel fellowship (2026–2027)? 🧬 2 years of research 💰 $95,000 stipend + relocation + benefits 📅 Apply by 15/9 🔗 fulbright.org.il/program/2/842 ✉️ Email me!
It was a great honor and pleasure to host Prof. Ziv Bar-Joseph from @CarnegieMellon at the Faculty of Life Sciences @goodmanfaculty at @ubarilan and hear about his research on foundation models in biology @Ayal_Hendel
It was a delight to host my former PhD advisor Prof. Ron Shamir and hear about his current research on clustering cancer patients and standardising Parkinson's disease progression scores (in addition to the usual chit-chatting and updates...)
The short talk and scholarship deadlines for the @KeystoneSymp AI in Molecular Biology meeting in September are coming up fast, May 20th. Looking forward to seeing the submissions! keystonesymposia.org/conferences/co…
Come check my student’s poster on CRISPR/Cas9 off-target prediction with bulges @OfirYaish #recomb2025

Finally fulfilled my life-long dream of giving a (too dense) talk at the Israeli Bioinformatics Symposium #IBS2025. Had a blast in the short time I had as I had to leave to #RECOMB2025 #RECOMBseq. My next dream: giving the local keynote!
Your last chance to submit an abstract for a poster presentation at RECOMB-seq 2025!
