Repeat Size Determination by Two Molecular Rulers in the Type I-E CRISPR Array

Repeat Size Determination by Two Molecular Rulers in the Type I-E CRISPR Array

Prokaryotic adaptive immune systems are composed of clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) and CRISPR-associated (Cas) proteins. These systems adapt to new threats by integrating short nucleic acids, termed spacers, into the CRISPR array. The functional motifs in the repe...
