The CRISPR Spacer Space Is Dominated by Sequences from Species-Specific Mobilomes

ABSTRACT Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats and CRISPR-associated protein (CRISPR-Cas) systems store the memory of past encounters with foreign DNA in unique spacers that are inserted between direct repeats in CRISPR arrays. For only a small fraction of the spacers, homologous...
