Abstract This study examines how DNA methylation by both phase-variable and canonical restriction–modification (RM) systems contributes to bacterial gene regulation, using the SpnD39III system of Streptococcus pneumoniae and the prototypical EcoKI system of Escherichia coli. RNA-seq analysis of pneumococcal phase-locke...

The arms race of bacteriophages and their bacterial hosts has inspired major breakthroughs in biotechnology and shaped phages as fierce predators with great clinical potential to fight multidrug-resistant bacterial pathogens. However, the large amount of genes of unknown function in phage genomes remains a major obstac...
