Detection of Bacterial Retroelements Using Genomics
… RT encoding gene found in bacteria is called a retron element. Recent bacterial genome sequencing projects have revealed many examples of retron RT genes. This gene assignment is based on comparison with a few known retron RT proteins. However, RT proteins are highly diverse in their amino acid …

Discovery of novel systems for genome editing
… the external templates into cells, and retrons could be the solution for this. Retron’s unique ability to produce programable msDNA as templates within cells could substitute the ssDNA or dsDNA template, but people are still working on Eco1 and Eco2 which were discovered in 1981. There …

Discovery and engineering of antiviral defense systems in bacteria and archaea
… in antiviral defense, including RNA editing and retron satellite DNA synthesis. In addition, we predict a diverse set of other putative defense genes that remain to be characterized. These results highlight an immense array of molecular functions that bacteria and archaea employ against viruses.
