Sequences spanning the leader-repeat junction mediate CRISPR adaptation to phage in Streptococcus thermophilus

CRISPR-Cas systems are RNA-based immune systems that protect prokaryotes from invaders such as phages and plasmids. In adaptation, the initial phase of the immune response, short foreign DNA fragments are captured and integrated into host CRISPR loci to provide heritable defense against encountered...
