Genomic evidence for a hybrid origin of the yeast opportunistic pathogen Candida albicans

6 May 2020

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Opportunistic yeast pathogens of the genus Candida are an important medical problem. Candida albicans, the most prevalent Candida species, is a natural commensal of humans that can adopt a pathogenic behavior. This species is highly heterozygous and cannot undergo meiosis, adopting instead a parasexual cycle that increases genetic variability and potentially leads to advantages under stress...
