Phages in nature
Phages are the most abundant organisms in the biosphere and they are a ubiquitous feature
of prokaryotic existence. A bacteriophage is a virus which infects a bacterium. Archaea are …

Protospacer recognition motifs: mixed identities and functional diversity
Protospacer adjacent motifs (PAMs) were originally characterized for CRISPR-Cas systems
that were classified on the basis of their CRISPR repeat sequences. A few short 2–5 bp …

A putative viral defence mechanism in archaeal cells
Clusters of regularly spaced direct repeats, separated by unconserved spacer sequences,
are ubiquitous in archaeal chromosomes and occur in some plasmids. Some clusters …

Defining life: the virus viewpoint
P Forterre - Origins of Life and Evolution of Biospheres, 2010 - Springer
Are viruses alive? Until very recently, answering this question was often negative and
viruses were not considered in discussions on the origin and definition of life. This situation …
