As part of our ongoing investigation of CRISPR-Cas evolution, we explored the phylogenomics of the Cas4 family. About 90% of the archaeal genomes encode Cas4 compared to only about 20% of the bacterial genomes. Many archaea encode both the CRISPR-associated form (CAS-Cas4) and solo-Cas4, whereas in bacteria, this …









Word Equation. Calcium Sulfate + Sodium Nitrate = Calcium Nitrate + Sodium Sulfate. CaSO4 + NaNO3 = Ca (NO3)2 + Na2SO4 is a Double Displacement (Metathesis) reaction where one mole of solid Calcium Sulfate [CaSO 4] and two moles of aqueous Sodium Nitrate [NaNO 3] react to form one mole of aqueous Calcium Nitrate [Ca (NO 3) 2] and …









The P. furiosus genome harbors two distinct cas4 genes, one in a cas4-1/cas1/cas2 operon and the other cas4-2 at a remote location not associated with CRISPR (Shiimori et al., 2018). Shiimori et al. (2018) first test their genetic requirement for in vivo adaptation by analyzing mutant strains lacking cas4-1 and cas4-2 individually or …













Word Equation. Calcium Chloride + Sodium Sulfate = Sodium Chloride + Calcium Sulfate. CaCl2 + Na2SO4 = NaCl + CaSO4 is a Double Displacement (Metathesis) reaction where one mole of aqueous Calcium Chloride [CaCl 2] and one mole of aqueous Sodium Sulfate [Na 2 SO 4] react to form two moles of aqueous Sodium Chloride [NaCl] and one mole of …
