Genetic Circuits that Govern Bisexual and Unisexual Reproduction in Cryptococcus neoformans
15 Aug 2013
Abstract excerpt
Cryptococcus neoformans is a human fungal pathogen with a defined sexual cycle. Nutrient-limiting conditions and pheromones induce a dimorphic transition from unicellular yeast to multicellular hyphae and the production of infectious spores.
