This study identifies ISG20 and its bacterial homologs as interkingdom antiviral factors that restrict both bacterial RNA phages and human RNA viruses through UTR trimming.

This study identifies DUF4062 as TIR-like NADases involved in bacterial antiphage defense and eukaryotic RNA vault function through structural and biochemical analyses.

This study identifies genetic factors associated with invasiveness in Escherichia coli strains from IBD patients using whole genome sequencing and a modified invasion assay.

The paper identifies and characterizes the BrxR protein and its gene in a BREX phage restriction system from Acinetobacter, showing its role in restriction and cis regulation.
