Abstract excerpt
Candida albicans strain SC5314 contains two ALS3 alleles, which differ in sequence with respect to the number of copies of the 108 bp tandem repeat sequence within the central domain of the coding region. One allele (ALS3(12)) has 12 tandem repeat copies while the other (ALS3(9)) has 9 copies. Wild-type C. albicans (ALS3(12)/ALS3(9)) and those containing various ALS3 alleles (ALS3(12)/als3Delta(9),...
