Effects of Temperature on CRISPR/Cas System
Get PDFThis project is part of the Meiothermus ruber genome analysis project, which uses a collection of online bioinformatics tools to predict gene function. We investigated the effect of temperature on the complexity of CRISPR/Cas systems in bacterial organisms across temperature classifications. We predict that temperature extremes would result in CRISPR/Cas systems with multiple operons, repeating cas genes, and complex systems. CRISPR/Cas systems can be classified into three types with a number of subtypes based on the CRISPR-associated genes, cas genes, present in a given organism. Our hypothesis is supported by the presence of multiple operons in thermophilic organisms based on data collect with bioinformatic tools KEGG and IMG/M. Organisms were predicted to have functional CRISPR/Cas operons, cas genes, or CRISPR arrays which suggest the presence of a CRISPR/Cas system
