Significance and Impact of the Study: This study presents a new CRISPR-Cas9 vector specifically designed for the use with Bacillus phages. It is more efficient than existing systems, and in combination with the established vector-specific construction of artificial CRISPR arrays, it will contribute to better exploitation and understanding of viral diversity.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
