Divergent methylation of CRISPR repeats and cas genes in a subtype I-D CRISPR-Cas-system
Abstract Background The presence and activity of CRISPR-Cas defense systems is a hallmark of many prokaryotic microorganisms. Here, the distribution of sequences related to the highly iterated palindrome 1 (HIP1) element and the DNA methylation of CGATCG motifs embedded within HIP1 as a vital part o...
