Evidence from comparative genomics for a complete sexual cycle in the 'asexual' pathogenic yeast Candida glabrata
23 Jan 2003
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Candida glabrata is a pathogenic yeast of increasing medical concern. It has been regarded as asexual since it was first described in 1917, yet phylogenetic analyses have revealed that it is more closely related to sexual yeasts than other Candida species. We show here that the C. glabrata genome contains many genes apparently involved in sexual reproduction. RESULTS: By genome survey sequencing, we...
