Abstract:CRISPR-Cas systems are prevalent in bacterial and archaeal genomes, and these systems provide a powerful adaptive immune system against predation by phages and other mobile genetic elements (MGEs). They also contribute to other functions, such as gene regulation in prokaryotic organisms. Determining Cas proteins and Cas loci can help mine Cas proteins and facilitate the identification of Cas-associated accessory proteins. Therefore, the purpose of this work is to develop a web-based server, CasLocusAnno, to an… Show more
