DOI: 10.1093/nar/gkab530

Abstract: Abstract DNA methylation is a common epigenetic mark that influences transcriptional regulation, and therefore cellular phenotype, across all domains of life. In particular, both orphan methyltransferases and those from phasevariable restriction modification systems (RMSs) have… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/nar/gkaf854

Abstract: Abstract The genomes of 43 distinct lactococcal strains were reconstructed by a combination of long- and short-read sequencing, resolving the plasmid complement and methylome of these strains. The genomes comprised 43 chromosomes of approximately 2.5… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/nar/gky760

Abstract: Abstract Restriction Modification (RM) systems prevent the invasion of foreign genetic material into bacterial cells by restriction and protect the host's genetic material by methylation. They are therefore important in maintaining the integrity of the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1128/aem.01985-24

Abstract: ABSTRACT Intestinal microbiota members of the Bifidobacterium genus are increasingly explored as probiotics and therapeutics. However, the paucity of genetic tools and the widespread restriction modification (RM) systems in Bifidobacterium limit our ability to genetically… read more here.
