Abstract excerpt
It has been suggested that Candida albicans, a diploid asexual fungus, achieves genetic diversity by genomic rearrangement. This important human pathogen may provide a system in which to analyze alternate routes to genomic diversity. C. albicans has a highly variable karyotype; its chromosomes contain a middle repeated DNA sequence called the Major Repeat Sequence (MRS), composed of subrepeats HOK, RPS, and RB2....
