The CRISPRdb database and tools to display CRISPRs and to generate dictionaries of spacers and repeats

BACKGROUND: In Archeae and Bacteria, the repeated elements called CRISPRs for "clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats" are believed to participate in the defence against viruses. Short sequences called spacers are stored in-between repeated elements. In the current model, motifs c... View More
