Optimal number of spacers in CRISPR arrays
Fig 5
Effect of parameters on the optimal number of spacers and the maximal survival probability.
The optimal number of spacers and corresponding survival probability as functions of one of the array-unrelated parameters: (A) As function of mutation probability 1 − μ, other parameters are β = 1 and χ = 1.4. (B) As function of binding efficiency β, other parameters are μ = 0.9 and χ = 1.4. (C) As function of interference efficiency χ, other parameters μ = 0.9 and β = 1. The average number of viral infections was rNt = 5 in all panels.
