The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Lysogeny in nature: mechanisms, impact and ecology of temperate phages (2017, background): “Given evasion of host resistance mechanisms (Samson et al., 2013), temperate phages ‘decide’ whether to produce virions (productive cycle) or instead establish lysogenic cycles as prophages.”
Diverse evolutionary roots and mechanistic variations of the CRISPR-Cas systems (2016, background): “Protective systems provide innate immunity at all stages of the parasite’s infection cycle, via receptor masking, restriction– modification (R–M systems), DNA interference (Argonaute), bacteriophage exclusion (BREX or PGL) and abortive infection [2-8].”
Bacteria–phage coevolution as a driver of ecological and evolutionary processes in microbial communities (2014, background): “…reviewed extensively elsewhere (Nechaev & Severinov, 2008; Hyman & Abedon, 2010; Labrie et al., 2010; Westra et al., 2012; Molineux & Panja, 2013; Samson et al., 2013; Young, 2013), as has the potential impact of temperate phages on the fitness and phenotype of their bacterial hosts, for example…”
CRISPRDetect: A flexible algorithm to define CRISPR arrays (2016, background): “CRISPR-Cas function requires a suite of Cas proteins encoded by cas genes, which are often located nearby the CRISPR loci (for reviews see [4 – 11]).”
