We sat down with Anika & Dmitry to discuss the new paper where we use bacterial scRNA-seq for studying bacterial phage infection and defenses. It turns out that bacteria use pre-existing variation in multiple layers of traits to protect themselves from unpredictable phages @isbscience.org

In the gut microbiome, bacteria are constantly under attack from viruses, but not all cells respond the same way. A new study uses single-cell sequencing to reveal hidden differences that determine whether bacteria survive or succumb to infection.

ISB researchers use single-cell sequencing to reveal hidden defenses against bacteriophages and uncover how some cells escape infection.
