Avoidance of Trinucleotide Corresponding to Consensus Protospacer Adjacent Motif Controls the Efficiency of Prespacer Selection during Primed Adaptation
Adaptive immunity of prokaryotes depends on acquisition of foreign DNA fragments into CRISPR arrays as spacers followed by destruction of foreign DNA by CRISPR interference machinery. Different fragments are acquired into CRISPR arrays with widely different efficiencies, but the factors responsible...
