Comparative Analysis of the Orphan CRISPR2 Locus in 242 Enterococcus faecalis Strains.

Comparative Analysis of the Orphan CRISPR2 Locus in 242 Enterococcus faecalis Strains.

Clustered, Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats and their associated Cas proteins (CRISPR-Cas) provide prokaryotes with a mechanism for defense against mobile genetic elements (MGEs). A CRISPR locus is a molecular memory of MGE encounters. It contains an array of short sequences, called s...
