Live virus-free or die: coupling of antivirus immunity and programmed suicide or dormancy in prokaryotes
BACKGROUND: The virus-host arms race is a major theater for evolutionary innovation. Archaea and bacteria have evolved diverse, elaborate antivirus defense systems that function on two general principles: i) immune systems that discriminate self DNA from nonself DNA and specifically destroy the fore...
