Bacteria and archaea possess numerous defense systems to combat viral infections and other mobile genetic elements. Uniquely among these, CRISPR-Cas (clustered,regularlyinterspacedshortpalindromicrepeats-CRISPR associated) provides adaptive genetic interference against foreign nucleic acids. Here we review recent advances on the CRISPR-Cas9 system inNeisseriaspp, with a focus on its biological functions in genetic transfer, its mechanistic features that establish new paradigms and its technological applications in eukaryotic genome engineering.
