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 ...

Phage therapy is emerging as a potential solution to antibiotic resistance and superbugs, with clinical advances in ...
CRISPR Cas9 genome editing has transformed the way scientists approach gene therapy, acting like precise DNA scissors that can target and repair hereditary diseases at the genetic level. This ...
Phages have been known to trade chemical messages to guide their life‑cycle decisions, but new research shows that some of those messages function more like Trojan horses than helpful signals. By ...
