Temporal anatomy of an epigenetic switch in cell programming: the white‐opaque transition of C. albicans
2 Aug 2010
Abstract excerpt
The human pathogen Candida albicans undergoes a well-defined switch between two distinct cell types, named 'white' and 'opaque'. White and opaque cells differ in metabolic preferences, mating behaviours, cellular morphologies and host interactions. Each cell type is stable through many generations; switching between them is rare, stochastic and occurs without any known changes in the primary sequence of the...
