TypeGUILD
DescriptionCRISPR repeats are by definition Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats, described by Jansen [3]. Certain proteins, including Cas1 to Cas4, are found only in genomes with CRISPR repeats, and are near these repeats. Jansen, et al. describe CRISPR loci as having direct repeats, varying in size from 21 to 37 bp, interspaced by similarly sized non-repetitive sequences. We (Haft, et al.) described subtypes in which certain groups of subtype-specific genes are found in addition to characteristic sets of the more widely distributed cas genes [2]. A number of strictly CRISPR-associated genes with narrow species distributions have not yet been assigned to subtypes and have been collected into an _other_category. A recent review of CRISPR families [3] has identified broader categories of CRISPR systems. Apern is I-A, Tneap/Hmari is I-B, Dvulg is I-C, Cyano is I-D, Ecoli is I-E, Ypest is I-F, Nmeni is type II, Mtube is type III-A, and the RAMP module is type III-B.
