Abstract: In prokaryotes, Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR) and CRISPR‐associated protein (Cas) systems constitute adaptive immune systems against mobile genetic elements (MGEs). Here, we introduce the Markov cluster algorithm (MCL) to Makarova et al.'s… read more here.

Abstract: Many prokaryotes encode CRISPR-Cas systems as immune protection against mobile genetic elements (MGEs), yet a number of MGEs also harbor CRISPR-Cas components. With a few exceptions, CRISPR-Cas loci encoded on MGEs are uncharted and a… read more here.
