Abstract excerpt
A characteristic genetic trait in Candida albicans is diploidism, which is accompanied by a high degree of natural heterozygosity. Here, we describe natural heterozygosity in the promoter of the CaCHS7 gene in the SC5314 strain, associated with a GC-rich sequence of 28 nucleotides. Both alleles are expressed in the wild type and contribute to the total levels of the CaCHS7 mRNA. However, the presence of this...
