Abstract excerpt
The genetic manipulation of the human fungal pathogen Candida albicans is difficult because of its diploid genome, the lack of a known sexual phase and its unusual codon usage. We devised a new method for sequential gene disruption in C. albicans that is based on the repeated use of the URA3 marker for selection of transformants and its subsequent deletion by FLP-mediated, site-specific recombination. A cassette...
