Abstract excerpt
Penicillium marneffei is an opportunistic pathogen of humans and displays a temperature dependent dimorphic transition. Like many fungi, exogenous DNA introduced by DNA mediated transformation is integrated randomly into the genome resulting in inefficient gene deletion and position-specific effects. To enhance successful gene targeting, the consequences of perturbing components of the non-homologous end joining...
