The CRISPR-Cas system is a highly adaptive and RNA-guided immune system found in bacteria and archaea, which has applications as a genome editing tool and is a valuable …
Summary Small genes (< 150 nucleotides) have been systematically overlooked in phage genomes. We employ a large-scale comparative genomics approach to predict> 40,000 …
Viruses in built environments (BEs) raise public health concerns, yet they are generally less studied than bacteria. To better understand viral dynamics in BEs, this study assesses …

As part of the ongoing bacterial-phage arms race, CRISPR-Cas systems in bacteria clear invading phages whereas anti-CRISPR proteins (Acrs) in phages inhibit CRISPR defenses …
CRISPR–Cas is an anti-viral mechanism of prokaryotes that has been widely adopted for genome editing. To make CRISPR–Cas genome editing more controllable and safer to use …
Abstract Background Porphyromonas gingivalis (hereafter “Pg”) is an oral pathogen that has been hypothesized to act as a keystone driver of inflammation and periodontal disease …
