SNIPE defense lets bacteria destroy phage DNA at the cell membrane
A single protein bolted to the inner membrane of a bacterial cell can shred a virus’s DNA before that genetic material ever reaches the interior. That is the central finding behind SNIPE, a newly ...
The microbial arms race, in which bacteria battle with each other, viruses, and other organisms for space and nutrients, has ...
Dozens of new discoveries reveal that defenses evolved by bacteria and viruses billions of years ago still define our own ...
