Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The evolutionary closely related dermatophytes Trichophyton rubrum and T. violaceum exhibit distinct pathobiology despite high genomic similarity, suggesting the involvement of epigenetic regulation beyond genetic determinants. OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to delineate the genome-wide DNA methylation landscapes of T. rubrum and T. violaceum and to elucidate the associations between epigenetic...
