An experimental census of retrons for DNA production and genome editing
2024-01-26
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Retrons are bacterial immune systems that use reverse transcribed DNA as a detector of phage infection. They are also increasingly deployed as a component of biotechnology. For genome editing, for instance, retrons are modified so that the reverse transcribed DNA (RT-DNA) encodes an editing donor. Retrons are commonly found in bacterial genomes; thousands of unique retrons have now been predicte...
