Amazing how a 'simple' question to @sumanthmutte.bsky.social 4 years ago turned into a deep dive into DNA repair. Did not expect the first co-first author story of my PhD on prokaryotic Argonautes to be a bioinformatic study into DNA repair proteins

If you work on prokaryotic immunity, for sure check out Figure 6 and the loads of supplementary data. There you can find correlations between the occurrence of DNA repair proteins and your favourite immune system, overall or per bacterial phylum
