Spatial structure and Lamarckian adaptation explain extreme genetic diversity at CRISPR locus.

mBio - 1 Jan 2012

Haerter Jan O, Sneppen Kim

Abstract excerpt

Even within similar bacterial strains, it has been found that the clustered, regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat (CRISPR) shows a large variability of spacers. Modeling bacterial strains with different levels of immunity to infection by a single virulent phage, we find that coexistence...
