Summary Introduction

To review:

The function of Cas1, Cas2, and Cas9 proteins for the defense in a bacterial genome.

Introduction:

The CRISPR-Cas system is a significant defense system in prokaryotes. It provides an effective defense against foreign invaders like bacteriophage, transposons, and plasmids. The CRISPR (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats) locus contains a series of repeated sequences which are derived from the DNA of bacteriophage.

Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
Does CRISPR CAS9 as a defense in bacteria only work for double stranded viral DNA? or any type of stranded DNA/RNA?
In type II CRISPR-Cas9 systems, what intermediate interacts with the repeat sequences that are added to the guide RNA?
How can the construct with Cas9 and gRNA sequence be removed from the plant in case it was inserted into a genome?
