Gene expression is central to the genotype-phenotype relationship in all organisms, and it is
an important component of the genetic basis for evolutionary change in diverse aspects of …

Candida albicans is an opportunistic fungal pathogen that is found in the normal
gastrointestinal flora of most healthy humans. However, in immunocompromised patients …

Background Mycoparasitism, a lifestyle where one fungus is parasitic on another fungus,
has special relevance when the prey is a plant pathogen, providing a strategy for biological …

We present the diploid genome sequence of the fungal pathogen Candida albicans.
Because C. albicans has no known haploid or homozygous form, sequencing was …

Abstract Thirty years after Susumu Ohno proposed that vertebrate genomes are degenerate
polyploids, the extent to which genome duplication contributed to the evolution of the …

In eukaryotes, unlike in bacteria, gene order has typically been assumed to be random.
However, the first statistically rigorous analyses of complete genomes, together with the …

Over the past few years, genome sequences have become available from an increasing
range of yeast species, which has led to notable advances in our understanding of …

Pneumocystis jirovecii is a major cause of life-threatening pneumonia in immunosuppressed
patients including transplant recipients and those with HIV/AIDS, yet surprisingly little is …

Large-scale genome sequencing is providing a comprehensive view of the complex
evolutionary forces that have shaped the structure of eukaryotic chromosomes. Comparative …

The last decade has witnessed a revolution in the genomics of the fungal kingdom. Since
the sequencing of the first fungus in 1996, the number of available fungal genome …
