CRISPR–Cas systems confer adaptive immunity against exogenic elements in bacteria and archaea, and provide unprecedented potential for genome editing that is revolutionizing biological and clinical research. Current CRISPR–Cas systems are based on enzymes that were identified in isolated bacteria, thus excluding the majority of enzymes
