Millions of SARS-CoV-2 seqs out there..what info do they hide? Combining phylogeny & deep learning we infer hundreds of chronic infections & show they predict future evolution. Want to know how? ๐งต

Given incredibly difficult, conflict-filled years,it makes me proud to present @BZman101 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/โฆ

Science is solace these days and what could be better than studying cheater viruses??
Proud to share our new work that probes what happens when you evolve a point mutant cheater virus. w/ @ugophna

4. This is like pulling the strings of a marionette - cheaters change one part of the replication cycle and helpers compensate, all with the "aim" of producing more cheater progeny.

5. Finally we speculate that cheaters are probably very common and may even serve as stepping stones on the way to generate novel forms of viruses... Stay tuned!

Heartbroken to share that Yagev Buchshtab, brother of PhD student Nufar, was murdered in Hamas captivity. Too much unbearable pain. This should not have ended, or started, this way.

80 days ago @SternLab posted this video by her student Nufar Buchstab, a plea for help regarding her brother Yagev Buchstab who was being held hostage in Gaza for 80 days. It's now 160 days.
26 Dec 2023
My brilliant PhD student Nufar, whose brother is a hostage in Gaza for over 80 days. Nothing prepared me to being a mentor under such a scenario. How can we even continue research in the lab?? Please help her, help us, spread this heart-breaking humanitarian call.

IMO Israel has implemented more measure to prevent civilian casualties in urban warfare than any other military in the history of war. This includes many measure the U.S. has (or has not) taken in wars & battles but also many measures no military in the world has ever taken. ๐งต

This is Itai Svirsky. He was taken hostage to Gaza on October 7. Hamas forced him to participate in a propaganda video and then murdered him.
