Abstract
Retrons are notable for their anti-phage defense functions and genome engineering applications. However, only a few retrons have been well characterized. In the August issue of Nature Biotechnology, Khan et al.1 present hundreds of experimentally studied retrons, which are critical for bacterial immunity research and retron-based genome engineering technologies.

期刊介绍:
Cell Chemical Biology, a Cell Press journal established in 1994 as Chemistry & Biology, focuses on publishing crucial advances in chemical biology research with broad appeal to our diverse community, spanning basic scientists to clinicians. Pioneering investigations at the chemistry-biology interface, the journal fosters collaboration between these disciplines. We encourage submissions providing significant conceptual advancements of broad interest across chemical, biological, clinical, and related fields. Particularly sought are articles utilizing chemical tools to perturb, visualize, and measure biological systems, offering unique insights into molecular mechanisms, disease biology, and therapeutics.
