Whoa: “More broadly, huge phage represent little known biology, the platforms for which are distinct from those of small phage and partially analogous to those of symbiotic bacteria, somewhat blurring the distinctions between life and non-life.”

Shoutout to the authors of this preprint, though, the idea that phage might acquire CRISPR-Cas systems and then turn it against their own hosts to silence their hosts' transcription machinery (and hijack the host's systems for their own benefit) is wild: h
