CRISPR-Cas systems confer bacteria and archea an adaptative immunity against phages and other invading genetic elements playing an important role in bacterial evolution. Only 47% of bacterial genomes harbor a CRISPR-Cas system despite their high rate of horizontal transfer. Hypothesis such as the cost of autoimmu- nity or the trade off between a constitutive or an inducible defense system have been put forward to explain this paradox. I propose that the genetic background plays an important role in the process of maintaining a CRISPR-Cas system af- ter its transfer. More precisely I hypothesized that CRISPR-Cas systems interact with DNA repair pathways. To test this idea, we detected DNA repair pathways and CRISPR-Cas systems in bacterial g...
