Prokaryotic Genome Expansion Is Facilitated by Phages and Plasmids but Impaired by CRISPR

Viruses and plasmids can introduce novel DNA into bacterial cells, thereby creating an opportunity for genome expansion; conversely, CRISPR, the prokaryotic adaptive immune system, which targets and eliminates foreign DNAs, may impair genome expansions. Recent studies presented conflicting results o...
