TL;DR: It is expected that yeast can serve as a genomic 'drydock' within which to maintain and manipulate clonal lineages of other obligate lytic phage as well as fully separates all primary phage protein coding sequences along with cognate translation control elements.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors show that E. coli P2-like phages and their parasitic P4-like satellites carry hotspots of genetic variation containing reservoirs of anti-phage systems.

TL;DR: In this article , the evolution of bacterial defences and phage counter-defences is underpinned by frequent genetic exchanges with, and between, mobile genetic elements, and multiple defences are active within a single genome.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explored the genetic structure of phage-vibrio coevolution and proposed a pan-escape system that can be shared among phages by homologous recombination within a population that infects a bacterial host.

TL;DR: Using fluorescent and chromogenic proteins as reporters, it is demonstrated that CRISPR/Cas9 cleavage excludes unwanted ligation byproducts and increases transformation efficiency of desired inserts from 20% up to 97% ± 3%.
