Dealing with the Evolutionary Downside of CRISPR Immunity: Bacteria and Beneficial Plasmids

The immune systems that protect organisms from infectious agents invariably have a cost for the host. In bacteria and archaea CRISPR-Cas loci can serve as adaptive immune systems that protect these microbes from infectiously transmitted DNAs. When those DNAs are borne by lytic viruses (phages), this...
