Integrons are anti-phage defence libraries in Vibrio parahaemolyticus
Bacterial genomes have regions known as defence islands that encode diverse systems to protect against phage infection. Although genetic elements t…
CRISPRi-ART enables functional genomics of diverse bacteriophages using RNA-binding dCas13d
Bacteriophages constitute one of the largest reservoirs of genes of unknown function in the biosphere. Even in well-characterized phages, the funct…
