Short prokaryotic Argonaute systems trigger cell death upon detection of invading DNA.

Sequencing of MapSPARTA-associated DNA confirmed that it associates with both plasmid and genomic DNA and showed a relatively weak but highly significant correlation between specific DNA and small RNA sequence abundance ( Figure 4 G; Pearson correlation coefficient r > 0.32, p < 10 −99 ).
