Repeat nucleotides at the PAM (i.e. CCG at position -3, -2, -1) protect the CRISPR array from priming. The sequence of the distal repeat is shown in truncated form in the upper two sequences. The sequence of the spacer is shaded in gray in the top sequence. Red sequences indicate mutated nucleotides.
