Genomic evidence for a hybrid origin of the yeast opportunistic pathogen <i>Candida albicans</i>

2019-10-21

Abstract excerpt

Opportunistic yeast pathogens are of increasing medical concern. Candida albicans , the species with the highest incidence, is a natural commensal of humans that can adopt a pathogenic behaviour. This species is highly heterozygous, is an obligate diploid, and cannot undergo meiosis, adopting instead a parasexual cycle. The origin of these traits is unknown and we hypothesize they could result from ancestral hybr...
