Assembly of the Candida albicans genome into sixteen supercontigs aligned on the eight chromosomes

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The 10.9x genomic sequence of Candida albicans, the most important human fungal pathogen, was published in 2004. Assembly 19 consisted of 412 supercontigs, of which 266 were a haploid set, since this fungus is diploid and contains an extensive degree of heterozygosity but lacks a complete sexual cycle. However, sequences of specific chromosomes were not determined. RESULTS: Supercontigs from Assembly...
