Interference-driven spacer acquisition is dominant over naive and primed adaptation in a native CRISPR–Cas system
Prokaryotic CRISPR-Cas systems provide adaptive immunity against foreign nucleic acids by acquiring short, invader-derived sequences called spacers. Here, Staals et al. analyse millions of such events in a native CRISPR-Cas system, showing that newly acquired spacers provoke additional rounds of spa...
