Summary of CRISPR definitions in different studies.

Column “minDR #” gives the minimum number of DRs required to define a CRISPR. Columns “minDR” and “maxDR” are the minimum and maximum DR lengths. The other two columns “minSpacer” and “maxSpacer” give the minimum and maximum spacer lengths for a CRISPR. The proposed definition for a CRISPR in this study is denoted as “caCRISPR,” and the other three computer programs compared in this study are CRT (CRISPR Recognition Tool) [7], CRISPRFinder [8], and PILER-CR [6]. |
