Abstract excerpt
Candida auris, a World Health Organisation-listed critical priority fungal pathogen, causes frequent multidrug-resistant outbreaks worldwide. While point mutations underlying antifungal resistance are well characterised, the contribution of structural genomic variation to antifungal responses remains poorly defined. Here, we integrate whole-genome sequencing, a genome-wide copy number variation (CNV) screen,...
