Multiple Origins of Extracellular DNA Traps

Multiple Origins of Extracellular DNA Traps

Extracellular DNA traps (ETs) are evolutionarily conserved antimicrobial mechanisms present in protozoa, plants, and animals. In this review, we compare their similarities in species of different taxa, and put forward the hypothesis that ETs have multiple origins. Our results are consistent with a p...
