To fight off viruses, bacteria have evolved a slew of creative defense tactics. Research from the #MarraffiniLab shows that in some cases, microbes go to great lengths to keep an infection from spreading, even destroying bits of their own genetic material. https://t.co/NgLUqC420n

Bacteria use a multifaceted immune response to get rid of invading DNA. In a new study, the #MarraffiniLab identifies an enzyme that can destroy foreign genetic material capable of evading a microbe’s first line of defense. https://t.co/lE234Q7CTR

Bacteria have defense systems that dissolve the DNA of dangerous invaders, like viruses. By studying one of these systems, the #LiuLab and #MarraffiniLab have discovered how bacteria manage to destroy enemy DNA, without harming their own genetic material. https://t.co/QnyDZWyqa5
