Defense Islands in Bacterial and Archaeal Genomes and Prediction of Novel Defense Systems

The arms race between cellular life forms and viruses is a major driving force of evolution. A substantial fraction of bacterial and archaeal genomes is dedicated to antivirus defense. We analyzed the distribution of defense genes and typical mobilome components (such as viral and transposon genes)...
