Genome analysis reveals evolutionary mechanisms of adaptation in systemic dimorphic fungi

2017-10-06

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Dimorphic fungal pathogens cause a significant human disease burden and unlike most fungal pathogens affect immunocompetent hosts. To examine the origin of virulence of these fungal pathogens, we compared genomes of classic systemic, opportunistic, and non-pathogenic species, including Emmonsia and two basal branching, non-pathogenic species in the Ajellomycetaceae, Helicocarpus griseus and P...
