Such a cool paper! Congratulations to the authors. It’s a very exciting time to be studying mobile genetic elements, in terms of both fundamental biology and translational potential. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Transposon-encoded nucleases use guide RNAs to promote their selfish spread - Nature
TnpB and IscB nucleases use transposon-encoded guide RNAs to target genomic sequences for cleavage, thereby favouring copying and spreading of transposable elements.
