FLSHclust

Using the novel algorithm FLSHclust, researchers have identified 188 rare and previously unknown CRISPR-linked gene modules, including a groundbreaking type VII CRISPR-Cas system. This discovery, made from an analysis of an extensive 8.8 terrabase pair database containing 8 billion proteins, highlights the untapped diversity of CRISPR systems. Researchers using the new FLSHclust algorithm discovered 188 unique CRISPR-linked gene modules, including a novel type VII CRISPR-Cas system, in a massive protein database. This…
