Abstract: Abstract Bacteria have evolved defence mechanisms against bacteriophages. Restriction-modification systems provide innate immunity by degrading invading DNAs that lack proper methylation. CRISPR–Cas systems provide adaptive immunity by sampling the genome of past invaders and cutting… read more here.
