Acquisition of novel arrays via horizontal gene transfer rewires CRISPR-mediated defense in Pseudomonas aeruginosa
ABSTRACT Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat (CRISPR)-associated (Cas) systems form the adaptive immunity of prokaryotes, conferring sequence-specific protection against genetic parasites. Here, we functionally characterized the type I-F CRISPR-Cas system of Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 10145 (PA101...
