Our graphic illustrates molecular timers that measure histone exchange on DNA genome-wide using a single sample of cells. The timers report on the DNA co-residence time of two genetically tagged histone subunits of choice. Read more about it here: nature.com/articles/s41587-0…

Hoping that our new work on the disrupted cellular state and its effect on antibiotic persistence will trigger work in other systems. #AntibioticAwarenessWeek #AntibioticResistance #microbiology #biophysical #modelling nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

I am very honored and the best part is that I have the resources to pursue science in a fun, collaborative manner, with some of my favorite colleagues, a few of them celebrating with me in this pic
Sloan Kettering Institute's @dana_peer was 1 of 33 elite biomedical researchers named a Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) investigator today. Retweet to congratulate Dr. Pe'er and click below to learn more about this prestigious honor. @HHMINEWS bit.ly/3kATAYG

Comparing daily cases of general population vs. medical personnel (among the first to vaccinate), shows similar trends to those reported by @segal_eran, possibly avoiding some of the biases introduced in age-group comparisons (e.g. different age-profile for new variants)
Israel: Vaccines impacting the pandemic dynamics Preprint: tinyurl.com/jyjho4v9 (**see caveats**) In the past 3 weeks: Among 60 y/o & older (1st vaccinated): 51% fewer cases 29% fewer critically ill Among 60 y/o & younger: 19% fewer cases 31% **more** critically ill >>>

Caveats: Diminished perception of danger among medical staff may reduce their testing following possible exposure. But this should also be true for the general population

The real test will be in hospitalization and death statistics, but it's still early to see trends in those
What is the effect of contact tracing and isolation on the evolution of mutations in primers sequences for Covid-19?
