Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) and CRISPR-associated (cas) genes constitute the CRISPR-Cas systems found in the Bacteria and Archaea domains.

Two CRISPR-Cas systems have been identified in Escherichia coli, pertaining to subtypes I-E (cas-E...
