Abstract excerpt
The human fungal pathobiont Candida albicans displays extensive genomic plasticity, including large-scale chromosomal changes such as aneuploidy. Chromosome trisomy appears frequently in natural and laboratory strains of C. albicans. Trisomy of specific chromosomes has been linked to large phenotypic effects, such as increased murine gut colonization by strains trisomic for chromosome 7 (Chr7). However, studies...
