Abstract

The innate response to many pathogens involves type I interferon production that is initiated upon cytosolic detection of double-stranded DNA (dsDNA), but how dsDNA is detected is controversial. In this issue of Immunity, Gray et al. (2016) use genetics to bring some much-needed clarity to the field.
