This paper discovers a new archaeal virus that suppresses host immunity gene transcription, leading to faster growth of its host when the virus is removed.

The paper introduces a gene fusion strategy using machine learning to improve the evolutionary stability of synthetic gene circuits in yeast.

The paper identifies a provirus-encoded CRISPR-Cas system in Haloferax lucentense and shows it relies on a plasmid-encoded system for adaptation, suggesting horizontal transfer and cooperative immunity.
