First evidence of Cas9 expression during CRISPR-Cas containing megaphage infection

Bacteriophages, or phages, are viruses that infect bacteria. Recently, many megaphages with large (over 500 kilo base pairs) genomes have been discovered. Metagenomic analyses show that several phages, including some megaphages, encode a CRISPR-Cas system, an adaptive immune system commonly associat...
