Metagenomic mining reveals novel Cas12 subtypes and their evolutionary diversification
iMetaOmics, EarlyView.We identified 4112 Cas12 Proteins and 6 new Cas12 subtypes, revealed their significant diversity in N‐terminal regions, repeat sequences, and sequences motifs. We developed an AI‐driven algorithm, Cas12fam, which allows precise annotation of 18 distinct domains in Cas12 proteins.
