Researchers find CRISPR is capable of even more than we thought.

Newly discovered weapons of bacterial self-defense take different approaches to achieving the same goal: preventing a virus from spreading through the bacterial population.

Researchers at Rockefeller 's Laboratory of Bacteriology , headed by Luciano Marraffini , and at the MSKCC's Structural Biology Laboratory have been studying key immune components of some CARF effectors.

CARF effectors are great at preventing phage replication.

"We still have a lot to learn about the details of how they do it," says Christian Baca .

"It will be fascinating to see where this work leads us next," he says of the work.
