Beatriz Beamud (Institut Pasteur) and colleagues have discovered that many bacterial defense systems against phages are encoded by mobile genetic elements, challenging traditional views of bacterial immunity.

In an analysis published in Nature Reviews Microbiology, Guilhem Faure (National Center for Biotechnology Information, NIH) and colleagues delve into the intricate relationship between CRISPR–Cas systems and mobile genetic elements.

The Department of Plant & Microbial Biology at the University of California, Berkeley is hiring a Postdoctoral Scholar in the area of phage-bacterial interactions. The Postdoctoral Scholar will conduct laboratory research as part of Dr. Kim

Research Fellow in the lab of John Chen at the National University of Singapore, to study the molecular basis of Staphylococcus aureus pathogenesis. Interests of the lab are focused on phages, pathogenicity islands, and other mobile genetic

Paper: Interactions between mobile genetic elements: An anti-phage gene in an integrative and conjugative element protects host cells from predation by a temperate phage.

Not long left to submit abstracts to the virus & mobile genetic elements session at #AbSciCon22 (May 15-20 in Atlanta, GA). You can present in-person or virtually. Invited speaker Dr. Rachel Whitaker will discuss "Epidemics of Gene Flow in

Fatima Aysha Hussain (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Massachusetts) and colleagues published a new paper in Science showing rapid evolutionary turnover of mobile genetic elements drives bacterial resistance to phages.

Some elements, termed phage-plasmids, are known to be both plasmids and phages. Eugen Pfeifer (Institut Pasteur) and colleagues screened 14,000 phages and plasmids and found 780 phage-plasmids across very diverse bacterial phyla, suggesting
