Investigating the Genomic Background of CRISPR-Cas Genomes for CRISPR-Based Antimicrobials
CRISPR-Cas systems are an adaptive immunity that protects prokaryotes against foreign genetic elements. Genetic templates acquired during past infection events enable DNA-interacting enzymes to recognize foreign DNA for destruction. Due to the programmability and specificity of these genetic templat...
