First described in 2009 in Japan, the emerging multidrug-resistant fungal pathogen Candida
auris is becoming a worldwide public health threat that has been attracting considerable …

Candidiasis is a highly pervasive infection posing major health risks, especially for
immunocompromised populations. Pathogenic Candida species have evolved intrinsic and …

The near-universal genetic code defines the correspondence between codons in genes and
amino acids in proteins. We refactored the structure of the genetic code in Escherichia coli …

Ascomycete yeasts are metabolically diverse, with great potential for biotechnology. Here,
we report the comparative genome analysis of 29 taxonomically and biotechnologically …

Candida auris is an emerging multidrug-resistant fungal pathogen and a new global threat
to human health. A unique morphological feature of this fungus is its multicellular …

There is worldwide concern about the constant increase in infections caused by Candida
species that are multiresistant to antifungal drugs. The most common candidiasis is caused …

Only few Candida species, eg, Candida albicans, Candida glabrata, Candida dubliniensis,
and Candida parapsilosis, are successful colonizers of a human host. Under certain …

Until recently the study of individual DNA sequences and of total DNA content (the C-value)
sat at opposite ends of the spectrum in genome biology. For gene sequencers, the vast …

Candida auris is a recently emerged multidrug-resistant fungal pathogen causing severe
illness in hospitalized patients. C. auris is most closely related to a few environmental or …

Considerable progress in our understanding of yeast genomes and their evolution has been
made over the last decade with the sequencing, analysis, and comparisons of numerous …
