Repeated CRISPR ("clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats") elements found in archaebacteria and eubacteria are believed to defend against viral infection, potentially targeting invading DNA for degradation. CRISPRdb is a database that stores information on CRISPRs that are automatically extracted from newly released genome sequence data.

Providers
A provider turns a local unique identifiers from a resource into a URI. Many providers are also resolvable as URLs (i.e., they can be used in a web browser).
The local unique identifier 551115 is used to demonstrate the providers
available for CRISPRdb. Some providers may use a different example, which is displayed in the table below.
A guide for curating additional providers can be found
