Anti-CRISPRs and CRISPR-Cas: Characterization and Biotechnology
Abstract Bacteria and phages (bacterial specific viruses) have been undergoing an evolutionary arms race for billions of years, whereby bacteria evolve mechanisms to inhibit phage infection and phages evolve mechanisms to evade bacterial defenses. Consequently, there are several mechanisms used by …
