Viral Diversity Threshold for Adaptive Immunity in Prokaryotes [PDF]
mBio, 2012 Bacteria and archaea face continual onslaughts of rapidly diversifying viruses and plasmids. Many prokaryotes maintain adaptive immune systems known as clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) and CRISPR-associated genes (Cas ...
