Table 1. Subtype distribution of microbial CRISPRs and identified IHF binding sties.

15,274 CRISPR loci were identified in bacterial and archaeal genomes. Closely related microbial genomes, which causes an over-representation of certain CRISPR subtypes (I-B, I-C, I-E, I-F, II-A, II-C, III-A) (“Redundant” column), were systematically removed (“Non-Redundant” columns). The number of non-redundant CRISPR leaders in containing at least one, or at least two unique IHF binding sites is reported. See also Figure S1.
