DNA interference is controlled by R-loop length in a type I-F1 CRISPR-Cas system

Abstract Background CRISPR-Cas systems, which provide adaptive immunity against foreign nucleic acids in prokaryotes, can serve as useful molecular tools for multiple applications in genome engineering. Diverse CRISPR-Cas systems originating from distinct prokaryotes function through a common mechan...
