Multicopy Single-Stranded DNA Directs Intestinal Colonization of Enteric Pathogens.

Multicopy Single-Stranded DNA Directs Intestinal Colonization of Enteric Pathogens.

Multicopy single-stranded DNAs (msDNAs) are hybrid RNA-DNA molecules encoded on retroelements called retrons and produced by the action of retron reverse transcriptases. Retrons are widespread in bacteria but the natural function of msDNA has remained elusive despite 30 years of study. The major roa...
