Preferred Label : CRISPR-Cas systems;
MeSH definition : Adaptive antiviral defense mechanisms, in archaea and bacteria, based on DNA repeat
arrays called CLUSTERED REGULARLY INTERSPACED SHORT PALINDROMIC REPEATS (CRISPR elements)

types have been distinguished, including Type I, Type II, and Type III, based on signature
motifs of CRISPR-ASSOCIATED PROTEINS.;
