title: Defense systems up: structure of subtype I-C/Dvulg CRISPR/Cas.
abstract: The study of CRISPR/Cas systems for RNA-based prokaryotic immunity has emerged as a rapidly expanding frontier in RNA biology. In this issue of Structure, Nam and colleagues provide new clues to deciphering these complex systems in the characterization of a subtype I-C CRISPR/Cas complex.
