COVID-19 pandemic-related lockdown: response time is more important than its strictness.
Gil Loewenthal,Shiran Abadi,Oren Avram,Keren Halabi,Noa Ecker,Natan Nagar,Itay Mayrose,Tal Pupko +7 more
TL;DR: A data‐driven model enabled the extraction of lockdown characteristics which were crossed with observed mortality rates to show that the time at which social distancing was initiated is highly correlated with the number of deaths and the immediate response has a prolonged effect on COVID‐19 death toll.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a combined computational-experimental approach to explore protein degradation in E. coli and showed that fast-degrading proteins can be identified using a combination of various protein properties, including structural, physicochemical, and protein-protein interaction network descriptors.

Harnessing machine learning to unravel protein degradation in Escherichia coli
Tal Pupko,Natan Nagar,Noa Ecker,Gil Loewenthal,Oren Avram,Daniella Ben-Meir,Dvora Biran,Eliora Z. Ron +7 more
TL;DR: A quantitative pulsed-SILAC method followed by mass spectrometry analysis is employed to determine the half-lives for the proteome of exponentially growing Escherichia coli, and dozens of novel proteins that are fast-degrading are identified.

Multiple sequence alignment as a sequence-to-sequence learning problem
Edo Dotan,Yonatan Belinkov,Oren Avram,Elya Wygoda,Noa Ecker,Michael Alburquerque,Omri Keren,Gil Loewenthal,Tal Pupko +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper , a methodology for aligning sequences using an NLP approach called BetaAlign was proposed. But the alignment accuracy was not as good as other commonly used methods, such as MAFFT, DIALIGN, ClustalW, T-Coffee, PRANK and MUSCLE.

An Approximate Bayesian Computation Approach for Modeling Genome Rearrangements
Asher Moshe,Elya Wygoda,Noa Ecker,Gil Loewenthal,Oren Avram,Omer Israeli,Einat Hazkani-Covo,Itsik Pe'er,Tal Pupko +8 more
TL;DR: A probabilistic approach to infer genome rearrangement rate parameters using an Approximate Bayesian Computation (ABC) framework is developed and characterized the ABC inference accuracy using simulations and applied the methodology to both prokaryotic and eukaryotic empirical datasets.
