Diversity and dynamics of the CRISPR-Cas systems associated with <i>Bacteroides fragilis</i> in human population
2021-09-09
Abstract excerpt
CRISPR-Cas systems are adaptive immune systems commonly found in prokaryotes that provide sequence-specific defense against invading mobile genetic elements (MGEs). The memory of these immunological encounters are stored in CRISPR arrays, where spacer sequences record the identity and history of past invaders. Analyzing such CRISPR arrays provide insights into the dynamics of CRISPR-Cas systems and the adaptation...
