I would like to inquire about two specific topics related to phage and bacterial genetics. I would greatly appreciate any recommendations or research papers you can provide for further studying these subjects.

Question 1: Phage Genetic Material Storage in Bacteria for “Immunity” I am particularly interested in understanding how phage genetic material is stored in bacterial DNA after phage destruction, specifically through the CRISPR/Cas system. I would like to incorporate and explore the mechanisms and processes involved in this fascinating phenomenon in my scholarly thesis.

Question 2: Bacterial Integration and Utilization of Phage Genes After Successful Elimination of Phage Infection Another area I would like to address in my thesis is whether bacteria can integrate and utilize phage genes after successfully eliminating phage infections, directly for regulation or protein synthesis.

I greatly appreciate any guidance or resources you can provide. Thank you very much for your time and assistance.
