Rapid gain and loss of a chromosome drives key morphology and virulence phenotypes in <i>Histoplasma</i> , a fungal pathogen of humans

2025-05-27

Abstract excerpt

Heritable phenotypic switches are fundamental to the ability of cells to respond to specific conditions. Such switches are key to the success of environmental pathogens, which encounter disparate conditions as they transition between the environment and host. We determine that the copy number of chromosome seven in the thermally dimorphic fungus Histoplasma dramatically affects the rate of transition. Though His...
