Welcome to CRISPRBank, the current version of this database contains analysis of all the genomes from RefSeq 95 July 2019. All 151,845 bacterial and 855 archaeal genomes were analysed using CRISPRDetect 2.4  (also availble through github) . These included those marked as complete or lower levels of assembly (e.g. scaffold or contig). CRISPRDetect and CRISPRbank are part of CRISPRSuite described here:

Note: This table only considers arrays, some array containing genomes (5-10%) will lack functional cas genes. 2. Each RefSeq assembly (GCF..) is counted, there are many assemblies for some species e.g. E coli.

Please key in the organism name (or accession NC_...) or click on the down arrow [NEW 2020: now you can also search arrays by RefSeq assembly ID i.e. GCF...]:
