DOI: 10.1007/978-1-4939-9877-7_17
Abstract: CRISPR-Cas systems provide RNA-guided adaptive immunity to the majority of archaea and many bacteria. They are able to capture pieces of invading genetic elements in the form of novel spacers in an array of repeats.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00285-021-01631-0
Abstract: Several implicit methods to infer horizontal gene transfer (HGT) focus on pairs of genes that have diverged only after the divergence of the two species in which the genes reside. This situation defines the edge… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00344-019-09945-6
Abstract: Inactive auxin conjugates are accumulated in plants and hydrolyzed to recover phytohormone action. A family of metallopeptidase orthologues has been conserved in Plantae to help regulate auxin homeostatic levels during growth and development. This hydrolase… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41467-021-23685-w
Abstract: Bacillus subtilis is a soil bacterium that is competent for natural transformation. Genetically distinct B. subtilis swarms form a boundary upon encounter, resulting in killing of one of the strains. This process is mediated by… read more here.
