The evolutionary history and diagnostic utility of the CRISPR-Cas system within Salmonella enterica ssp. enterica

The evolutionary history and diagnostic utility of the CRISPR-Cas system within Salmonella enterica ssp. enterica

Evolutionary studies of clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPRs) and their associated (cas) genes can provide insights into host-pathogen co-evolutionary dynamics and the frequency at which different genomic events (e.g., horizontal vs. vertical transmission) occur. Within...
