Abstract

CRISPR is a microbial immune system likely to be involved in host-parasite coevolution. Itfunctions using target sequences encoded by the bacterial genome, which interfere with invadingnucleic acids using a homology-dependent system. The system also requires protospacer associatedmotifs (PAMs), short motifs close to the target sequence that are required for interference in CRISPRtypes I and II. Here, we investigate whether PAMs are depleted in phage genomes due to selectionpressure to escape recognition.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 10 September 2014.
All research outputs
#15,169,949
of 25,374,917 outputs
Outputs from BMC Genomics
#5,391
of 11,244 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#120,380
of 242,064 outputs
Outputs of similar age from BMC Genomics
#108
of 260 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,374,917 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 38th percentile – i.e., 38% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 11,244 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.8. This one is in the 49th percentile – i.e., 49% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 242,064 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 48th percentile – i.e., 48% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 260 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 54% of its contemporaries.
