Abstract excerpt
A fundamental question in biology is how a eukaryotic cell type can be stably maintained through many rounds of DNA replication and cell division. In this paper, we investigate this question in a fungal species, Candida albicans, where two different cells types (white and opaque) arise from the same genome. Once formed, each cell type is stable for thousands of generations. Here, we investigate the mechanisms...
