Genetic basis for coordination of meiosis and sexual structure maturation in Cryptococcus neoformans
3 Oct 2018
Abstract excerpt
In the human fungal pathogen Cryptococcus neoformans, sex can benefit its pathogenicity through production of meiospores, which are believed to offer both physical and meiosis-created lineage advantages for its infections. Cryptococcus sporulation occurs following two parallel events, meiosis and differentiation of the basidium, the characteristic sexual structure of the basidiomycetes. However, the circuit...
