Programmable Removal of Bacterial Strains by Use of Genome-Targeting CRISPR-Cas Systems

ABSTRACT CRISPR (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats)-Cas (CRISPR-associated) systems in bacteria and archaea employ CRISPR RNAs to specifically recognize the complementary DNA of foreign invaders, leading to sequence-specific cleavage or degradation of the target DNA. Recent w...
