Genomic plasticity of the human fungal pathogen Candida albicans.

Eukaryotic cell - 1 Jul 2010

Selmecki Anna, Forche Anja, Berman Judith

Abstract excerpt

The genomic plasticity of Candida albicans, a commensal and common opportunistic fungal pathogen, continues to reveal unexpected surprises. Once thought to be asexual, we now know that the organism can generate genetic diversity through several mechanisms, including mating between cells of the opposite or of the same mating type and by a parasexual reduction in chromosome number that can be accompanied by...
