Small serine recombinases are markers for antiphage defense system discovery

Shelby E. Andersen, Joshua M. Kirsch, Navtej Singh…·Breck A. Duerkop

The paper develops a bioinformatic pipeline using small serine recombinases to identify antiphage defense systems in bacterial genomes and metagenomes, finding they are genetically linked to these systems.
