Erwinia amylovora CRISPR elements provide new tools for evaluating strain diversity and for microbial source tracking.

Erwinia amylovora CRISPR elements provide new tools for evaluating strain diversity and for microbial source tracking.

Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPRs) comprise a family of short DNA repeat sequences that are separated by non repetitive spacer sequences and, in combination with a suite of Cas proteins, are thought to function as an adaptive immune system against invading DNA. The n...
