Essential requirements for the detection and degradation of invaders by the Haloferax volcanii CRISPR/Cas system I-B
To fend off foreign genetic elements, prokaryotes have developed several defense systems. The most recently discovered defense system, CRISPR/Cas, is sequence-specific, adaptive and heritable. The two central components of this system are the Cas proteins and the CRISPR RNA. The latter consists of r...
