CRISPR–Cas regulates expression of embedded anti-phage defence systems

Nature, Published online: 22 July 2026; doi:10.1038/s41586-026-10833-9

CRISPR–Cas systems transcriptionally tune diverse innate defences using CRISPR RNA-like guides to balance antiviral protection with fitness, and hyperactivate these defences when compromised, establishing a layered bacterial ‘immunity guard’ network.

Teosinte alleles enhance nitrogen assimilation and seed protein in maize

Nature, Published online: 03 June 2026; doi:10.1038/s41586-026-10575-8

Teosinte alleles enhance nitrogen assimilation and seed protein without lowering crop yield when expressed in modern maize, providing a powerful strategy for crop improvement to meet future population demands.
