Crispr-Cas: An Adaptive Immune System In Bacteria And Archaea
A CBAT, or Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats, is a fundamental component of CRISPR-Cas systems, which are found in bacteria and archaea. CBATs consist of short, repeated DNA sequences that flank CRISPR arrays, which contain short DNA sequences that match the genomes of invading viruses and plasmids. Cas genes, which encode CRISPR-associated proteins, are … Read more
