Comparative Genomics and the Evolution of Pathogenicity in Human Pathogenic Fungi
13 Nov 2010
Abstract excerpt
Because most fungi have evolved to be free-living in the environment and because the infections they cause are usually opportunistic in nature, it is often difficult to identify specific traits that contribute to fungal pathogenesis. In recent years, there has been a surge in the number of sequenced genomes of human fungal pathogens, and comparison of these sequences has proved to be an excellent resource for...
