Spacer prioritization in CRISPR–Cas9 immunity is enabled by the leader RNA
CRISPR–Cas systems store fragments of foreign DNA, called spacers, as immunological recordings used to combat future infections. Of the many spacers stored in a CRISPR array, the most recent are known to be pr...

Evolutionary classification of CRISPR–Cas systems: a burst of class 2 and derived variants
The number and diversity of known CRISPR–Cas systems have substantially increased in recent years. Here, we provide an updated evolutionary classification of CRISPR–Cas systems and cas genes, with an emphasis on ...
