Cell. 2017 Feb 23;168(5):946-946.e1. doi: 10.1016/j.cell.2017.02.018.

Abstract

Class 1 CRISPR-Cas systems are characterized by effector modules consisting of multiple subunits. Class 1 systems comprise about 90% of all CRISPR-Cas loci identified in bacteria and archaea and can target both DNA and RNA.
