Type III CRISPR-Cas Immunity: Major Differences Brushed Aside.

TL;DR: It is found that the Type III CRISPR-Cas systems are both RNases and target RNA-activated DNA nucleases, and the base-pairing potential between the target RNA and theCRISPR RNA 5'-handle seems to play an important role in discriminating self and non-self nucleic acids.
