description: Repeated CRISPR ("clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats")
  elements found in archaebacteria and eubacteria are believed to defend against viral
  infection, potentially targeting invading DNA for degradation. CRISPRdb is a database
  that stores information on CRISPRs that are automatically extracted from newly released
  genome sequence data.
