Abstract excerpt
Candida parapsilosis is an opportunistic yeast pathogen that can cause life-threatening infections in immunocompromised humans. Whole-genome sequencing studies of the species have demonstrated remarkably low diversity, with strains typically differing by about 1.5 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) per 10 kb. However, SNP calling alone does not capture the full extent of genetic variation. Here, we define the...
