CRISPR-Cas Systems RNA-mediated Adaptive Immunity in Bacteria and Archaea /

CRISPR-Cas is a recently discovered defense system which protects bacteria and archaea against invasion by mobile genetic elements such as viruses and plasmids. A wide spectrum of distinct CRISPR-Cas immune systems has been identified in at least half of the available prokaryotic genomes. On-going b...
