Abstract
In this issue of Cell Host & Microbe, Millman et al. use bioinformatic and genetic approaches to discover 21 novel antiviral immune systems in prokaryotes. Remarkably, many of these systems bear homology to components of the human innate immune system, suggesting an evolutionary tie between prokaryotic and eukaryotic antiviral defenses.
