RNA Sequencing-Based Genome Reannotation of the Dermatophyte<i>Arthroderma benhamiae</i>and Characterization of Its Secretome and Whole Gene Expression Profile during Infection

Abstract excerpt

Dermatophytoses (ringworm, jock itch, athlete’s foot, and nail infections) are the most common fungal infections, but their virulence mechanisms are poorly understood. Combining transcriptomic data obtained from growth under various culture conditions with data obtained during infection led to a significantly improved genome annotation. About 65% of the protein-encoding genes predicted with our protocol did not...
