Abstract excerpt
The genetic analysis of Candida albicans, the major fungal pathogen of humans, is hampered by its diploid genome, the absence of a normal sexual cycle, and a nonstandard codon usage. Although effective methods to study gene function have been developed in the past years, systems to control gene expression in C. albicans are limited. We have established a system that allows induction of gene expression in C....
