This study shows that the bacterial ompW gene family expands through duplication and horizontal transfer, enabling functional diversification during host adaptation.

The paper analyzes defense systems in Acinetobacter baumannii genomes and finds that innate systems influence prophage distribution and genome evolution.

The paper describes a virus in Acinetobacter baumannii that uses a CRISPR-Cas system to compete with another virus for genomic integration sites, revealing a form of viral warfare and insights into CRISPR-Cas system spread.

The paper reduces CRISPR dark matter by analyzing spacers in antibiotic-resistant bacterial genomes and links CRISPR-Cas systems to membrane proteins involved in phage defense.

The paper introduces ASACO, a tool for co-expression analysis of genes across transcriptomics data, identifies host factors involved in SARS-CoV infection, and validates findings against high-throughput screens.
