A ribonucleoprotein (a structure made of RNA and protein) within a diversity-generating retroelement (DGR). DGRs are mechanisms that allow microorganisms to edit their genes. A new study in Nature has revealed clues about how they work. Credit: Blair Paul, generated from an RNP structure in Handa et al., using Protein Data Bank Japan (PDBJ).
