The paper uses single-cell analysis to show that the MqsR/MqsA TA system in E. coli protects against oxidative stress via the cryptic prophage protease LfgB, which degrades MqsA to activate stress response genes.

This study identifies and analyzes microRNAs across eight amphioxus organs using deep sequencing, revealing their potential roles in organ-specific functions and non-organ-specific processes.

This study shows that phages help bacteria recognize kin by forming demarcation lines between different strains.
