This paper identifies lineage-specific chromatin accessibility differences at IFN gene loci in pDCs and epithelial cells, revealing ETS-IRF composite elements as key regulators of divergent interferon responses.

This paper uses a RECON-/- mouse model to perform Tn-seq screening of Listeria monocytogenes in vivo, identifying novel genes critical for bacterial survival and revealing the role of the D-allose operon in pathogenesis.

This study shows that thymidine starvation in bacteria increases c-di-AMP, leading to STING activation and inflammation during infection.
