Investigation of CRISPR-Cas adaptation mechanism through exploration of Cas4-1 fusions

CRISPR-Cas is an adaptive immune system present in bacteria and archaea. It involves two linked stages: adaptation and interference. Adaptation generates a database of mobile genetic element sequences within a CRISPR locus through ‘capture’ of DNA fragments by Cas1-Cas2 and integration into the CRIS...
