Abstract excerpt
Immune responses need to be regulated to prevent autoimmunity. CRISPR-Cas systems provide adaptive immunity in prokaryotes through the acquisition of short DNA sequences from invading viruses (bacteriophages), known as spacers. Spacers are inserted into the CRISPR locus and serve as templates for the transcription of guides used by RNA-guided nucleases to recognize complementary nucleic acids of the invaders and...
