This study characterizes a Type V BREX defense system in Haloarcula hispanica and shows that two archaeal viruses evade it via a virion protein.

The paper characterizes the BREX system in Salmonella, determines the structure of PglX, and shows how rational engineering expands phage targeting and host motif methylation.

The paper reports the first genomes of Mansonella perstans and Mansonella ozzardi, enabling comparative genomic analysis and insights into their biology, evolution, and drug resistance.

The paper assembles repetitive TALomes in Xanthomonas using Oxford Nanopore sequencing and presents a correction pipeline to improve accuracy.

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.

The paper presents the genome sequences of two laboratory Salmonella strains and traces their ancestry, revealing hybridization events and their historical use in research.
