Nucleoid-associated proteins sense phage-induced genome damage to elicit abortive infection https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.64898/2026.04.06.716658v1

Excited to see our work out in Science today! Using machine learning to identify prokaryotic immune systems www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

My group at MIT is seeking a research scientist with a strong *experimental* background to lead and help shape the lab’s experimental infrastructure, supporting efforts to advance AI-driven enzyme discovery and characterization. See the full JD here: acrobat.adobe.com/id/urn:aaid:...

👋 Hi antiphage defense community, we are soon releasing an update of DefenseFinder. We are doing our best to include all the great discoveries from the community, but with so much going on we might miss things. Please answer wt preprints/papers with new systems or mail/git them to us. 🙏

Excited to share our work using machine learning to predict anti-phage defense systems! 1/n
