Term Information

Accession: GO:0043571
Name: maintenance of CRISPR repeat elements
Ontology: biological_process
Synonyms: maintenance of clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat elements, CRISPR element metabolic process, CRISPR element metabolism
Alternate IDs: None
Definition: Any process involved in sustaining CRISPR repeat clusters, including capture of new spacer elements, expansion or contraction of clusters, propagation of the leader sequence and repeat clusters within a genome, transfer of repeat clusters and CRISPR-associated (cas) genes to new genomes, transcription of the CRISPR repeat arrays into RNA and processing, and interaction of CRISPR/cas loci with the host genome. CRISPR (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat) elements are a family of sequence elements containing multiple direct repeats of 24-48 bp with weak dyad symmetry which are separated by regularly sized nonrepetitive spacer sequences.
