Unexpected evolutionary benefit to phages imparted by bacterial CRISPR-Cas9
Science Advances Bacteria and bacteriophages arm themselves with various defensive and counterdefensive mechanisms to protect their own genome and degrade the other's. CRISPR (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat)–Cas (CRISPR-associated) is an … Study Suggests CRISPR Gives Evolutionary Edge to Phages Escaping Bacterial Defense |
