This was a fun collaboration between many scientists in the lab (go sponge team!), as well as our dear collaborators Renee Chang and Philip Kranzusch

Read the thread by talented scientist Nitzan Tal, who led the study, explaining our discoveries:

Excited to share my final work from the @soreklab.bsky.social!

We mined phage dark matter using structural features shared by anti-defense proteins (viral tools that help phages bypass bacterial immunity) to guide discovery.

Found 3 new families targeting immune signaling!
