Role of Diversity-Generating Retroelements for Regulatory Pathway Tuning in Cyanobacteria

This study identifies DGRs in cyanobacteria and shows they diversify regulatory proteins involved in signal response, particularly in colonial and filamentous strains.

Template-assisted synthesis of adenine-mutagenized cDNA by a retroelement protein complex

The paper demonstrates that the DGR reverse transcriptase and Avd protein complex selectively mutagenize adenines during cDNA synthesis from DGR RNA templates.
