Dandruff-associated <i>Malassezia</i> genomes reveal convergent and divergent virulence traits shared with plant and human fungal pathogens
13 Nov 2007
Abstract excerpt
Fungi in the genus Malassezia are ubiquitous skin residents of humans and other warm-blooded animals. Malassezia are involved in disorders including dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis, which together affect >50% of humans. Despite the importance of Malassezia in common skin diseases, remarkably little is known at the molecular level. We describe the genome, secretory proteome, and expression of selected genes of...
