Abstract excerpt
Type V CRISPR systems are highly diverse in sequence, mechanism, and function. Although recent efforts have greatly expanded our understanding of their evolution, the diversity of type V systems remains to be completely explored, and many clades have not been experimentally characterized. In this work, we mined metagenomic databases to identify three new subtypes and nine new variants of Cas12, the effector of...
