Predicting phage anti-defenses that shoot the messenger
Mahler & @yuping-li.bsky.social highlight @science.org work developing a structure-guided approach to identify phage proteins counteracting bacterial nucleotide signaling defenses using metagenomic data.

Locked in a constant arms race, bacteria and their phage predators have evolved various
defenses and counter-defenses. Compared to the numerous identified defenses, phage-encoded
counter-defenses are ...
