Ectopic Spacer Acquisition in <i>Streptococcus thermophilus</i> CRISPR3 Array

<i>Streptococcus thermophilus</i> relies heavily on two type II-A CRISPR-Cas systems, CRISPR1 and CRISPR3, to resist siphophage infections. One hallmark of these systems is the integration of a new spacer at the 5′ end of the CRISPR arrays following phage infection. However, we have prev...
