Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Alexandra B Crawley"
Alexandra B Crawley's recent research primarily focuses on the exploration and characterization of CRISPR-Cas systems, particularly their role as adaptive immune mechanisms in bacteria and archaea, revealing their diversity and application in genome editing.
Her work includes the development of automated tools, such as CRISPRdisco, for identifying and analyzing these systems across different genomic assemblies and species.
Additionally, Crawley investigates the implications of CRISPR-Cas systems in human-associated microbiota, such as Lactobacillus, studying their interactions with mobile genetic elements and understanding how these systems contribute to microbial immunity.
