Genetic and genomic analyses reveal boundaries between species closely related to <i>Cryptococcus</i> pathogens

2019-02-22

Abstract excerpt

Speciation is a central mechanism of biological diversification. While speciation is well studied in plants and animals, in comparison, relatively little is known about speciation in fungi. One fungal model is the Cryptococcus genus, which is best known for the pathogenic Cryptococcus neoformans / Cryptococcus gattii species complex that causes over 200,000 new infections in humans annually. The closest non-hum...
