Abstract: Abstract Restriction-modification (R–M) systems represent an effective mechanism of defence against invading bacteriophages, and are widely spread among bacteria and archaea. In acquiring a Type II R–M system via horizontal gene transfer, the new hosts… read more here.

Abstract: Transcription factors in the bacterium E. coli are rarely essential, and when they are essential, they are largely toxin-antitoxin systems. While studying transcription factors encoded in horizontally acquired regions in E. coli, we realized that… read more here.
