Abstract
In this issue of Cell Host & Microbe, companion manuscripts from Margolis & Meeske1 and Smith & Fineran2 demonstrate that CRISPR-Cas systems have an unprecedented level of cooperative crosstalk between different subtypes, which enables primed spacer acquisition. These studies illustrate how CRISPR-Cas systems cooperate to enhance adaptive immunity in bacteria.
