Comparative Genomic Analysis of <italic toggle="yes">Mycobacteriaceae</italic> Reveals Horizontal Gene Transfer-Mediated Evolution of the CRISPR-Cas System in the <named-content content-type="genus-species">Mycobacterium tuberculosis</named-content> Complex

ABSTRACT Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) and CRISPR-associated (Cas) genes are conserved genetic elements in many prokaryotes, including Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the causative agent of tuberculosis. Although knowledge of CRISPR locus variability has been utilize...
