Check out the latest story from the Sternberg group: phages coopted transposon-encoded nucleases (TnpB) and repurposed them for regulation of host genes!

www.nature.com TnpB homologues exapted from transposons are RNA-guided transcription factors Nature - RNA-guided transcription factors arose repeatedly via the domestication of transposon-encoded tnpB genes, representing a parallel evolutionary path to CRISPR-Cas adaptive immunity. Excited about our new paper in @CellReports detailing SARS-CoV-2 genomic surveillance in Bozeman, MT and the identification of ORF7a truncation mutants! doi.org/10.1016/j.celr… @WiedenheftLab @MSU_MicroImmuno #Science #COVIDー19
