Phages use contingency loci as a bet-hedging strategy

Jasper B. Gomez, Jeffrey E. Barrick, Christopher M. Waters

This study identifies contingency loci in phages that generate genetic diversity through frameshift mutations, enabling bet-hedging against host defenses.

A Vibrio cholerae Type IV restriction system targets glucosylated 5-hydroxyl methyl cytosine to protect against phage infection

Jasper B. Gomez, Christopher M. Waters

This study identifies a novel Type IV restriction system in V. cholerae, TgvAB, that targets glucosylated 5-hydroxymethylcytosine on phage DNA, revealing evolutionary tradeoffs in phage resistance.
