CRISPR spacers acquired from plasmids primarily target backbone genes, making them valuable for predicting potential hosts and host range

ABSTRACT In recent years, there has been a surge in metagenomic studies focused on identifying plasmids in environmental samples. Although these studies have unearthed numerous novel plasmids, enriching our understanding of their environmental roles, a significant gap remains: the scarcity of inform...
