Hot and crispy : CRISPR-Cas systems in the hyperthermophile Sulfolobus solfataricus [PDF]
, 2013 The CRISPR (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats) and Cas (CRISPR-associated) genes are widely spread in bacteria and archaea, representing an intracellular defence system against invading viruses and plasmids.

Epidemiological and evolutionary consequences of different types of CRISPR-Cas systems.
PLoS Computational Biology, 2022 Bacteria have adaptive immunity against viruses (phages) in the form of CRISPR-Cas immune systems. Currently, 6 types of CRISPR-Cas systems are known and the molecular study of three of these has revealed important molecular differences. It is unknown if

Nanocarriers: A novel strategy for the delivery of CRISPR/Cas systems
Frontiers in Chemistry, 2022 In recent decades, clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat/CRISPR-associated protein (CRISPR/Cas) has become one of the most promising genome-editing tools for therapeutic purposes in biomedical and medical applications.

The CRISPR-Cas system in Enterobacteriaceae [PDF]
Pathogens and Disease, 2018 In nature, microorganisms are constantly exposed to multiple viral infections and thus have developed many strategies to survive phage attack and invasion by foreign DNA. One of such strategies is the clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/CRISPR-associated proteins (Cas) bacterial immunological system.

Potent CRISPR-Cas9 inhibitors from Staphylococcus genomes. [PDF]
, 2020 Anti-CRISPRs (Acrs) are small proteins that inhibit the RNA-guided DNA targeting activity of CRISPR-Cas enzymes. Encoded by bacteriophage and phage-derived bacterial genes, Acrs prevent CRISPR-mediated inhibition of phage infection and can also block ...

Clades of huge phages from across Earth's ecosystems. [PDF]
, 2020 Bacteriophages typically have small genomes1 and depend on their bacterial hosts for replication2. Here we sequenced DNA from diverse ecosystems and found hundreds of phage genomes with lengths of more than 200 kilobases (kb), including a genome of ...
