Several bacterial and archaeal lineages produce nanostructures that morphologically resemble small tailed viruses, but, unlike most contain apparently random pieces of the host genome. Since these elements can deliver packaged DNA to other cells, they were dubbed gene transfer agents (GTAs). Because many genes involved in GTA production have viral homologs, it has been hypothesized ancestor was a virus. Whether GTAs represent an atypical virus, defective or virus co-opted by prokaryotes for...

Abstract Despite adjuvant treatment with endocrine therapies, estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) breast cancers recur in a significant proportion of patients. Recurrences are attributable to clinically undetectable endocrine-tolerant persister cancer cells that retain tumor-forming potential. Therefore, strategies targeting such may prevent recurrent disease. Using CRISPR-Cas9 genome-wide knockout screening ER+ cells, we identified survival mechanism involving metabolic reprogramming reliance...
