Abstract excerpt
Mitochondrial DNA of the pathogenic yeast Candida albicans contains a species-specific DNA region, designated EO3, within the duplicated region in its stem-and-loop structure, as reported in our previous paper. We have revealed that the EO3 region exhibits a DNA-size polymorphism, yielding three fragment length types: L, M, and S. This polymorphism is due to the presence (or absence) of two small nucleotide...
