Abstract
CRISPR (Clusters of Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats) loci and cas (CRISPR-associated) genes provide adaptive immunity (see panel below) in bacteria and have recently been repurposed for genome editing.
Systems are structurally and functionally diverse.
- 2 classes, 6 types, 33 subtypes
- Very few have been studied experimentally
- None of the Type IV systems have been characterized
