Assembly of the Candida albicansgenome into sixteen supercontigs aligned on the eight chromosomes (2007)

Van Het Hoog, Marco, Rast, Timothy J, Martchenko, Mikhail, Grindle, Suzanne, Dignard, Daniel, Hogues, Hervé, ...

Abstract Background The 10.9× genomic sequence of Candida albicans , the most important human fungal pathogen, was published in 2004. Assembly 19 consisted of 412 supercontigs, of which 266 were a...

Prevalence of small inversions in yeast gene order evolution

Seoighe, Cathal, Federspiel, Nancy, Jones, Ted, Hansen, Nancy, Bivolarovic, Vesna, Surzycki, Ray, ...

Gene order evolution in two eukaryotes was studied by comparing the Saccharomyces cerevisiae genome sequence to extensive new data from whole-genome shotgun and cosmid sequencing of Candida albicans....

Genomic evidence for a complete sexual cycle in Candida albicans

Tzung, Keh-Weei, Williams, Roy M., Scherer, Stewart, Federspiel, Nancy, Jones, Ted, Hansen, Nancy, ...

Candida albicans is a diploid fungus that has become a medically important opportunistic pathogen in immunocompromised individuals. We have sequenced the C. albicans genome to 10.4-fold coverage and...

Short-Sequence DNA Repeats in Prokaryotic Genomes

Van Belkum, Alex, Scherer, Stewart, Van Alphen, Loek, Verbrugh, Henri

Short-sequence DNA repeat (SSR) loci can be identified in all eukaryotic and many prokaryotic genomes. These loci harbor short or long stretches of repeated nucleotide sequence motifs. DNA sequence...

Lack of Consistent Short Sequence Repeat Polymorphisms in Genetically Homologous Colonizing and Invasive Candida albicans Strains

Lunel, Frans Verduyn, Licciardello, Lidia, Stefani, Stefania, Verbrugh, Henri A., Melchers, Willem J. G., ...

Short sequence repeats (SSRs), potentially representing variable numbers of tandem repeat (VNTR) loci, were identified for the human-pathogenic yeast species Candida albicans by computerized DNA...

Metabolic specialization associated with phenotypic switching in Candida albicans

Lan, Chung-Yu, Newport, George, Murillo, Luis A., Jones, Ted, Scherer, Stewart, Davis, Ronald W., ...

Phase and antigenic variation are mechanisms used by microbial pathogens to stochastically change their cell surface composition. A related property, referred to as phenotypic switching, has been...

The diploid genome sequence of Candida albicans

Jones, Ted, Federspiel, Nancy A., Chibana, Hiroji, Dungan, Jan, Kalman, Sue, Magee, B. B., ...

We present the diploid genome sequence of the fungal pathogen Candida albicans. Because C. albicans has no known haploid or homozygous form, sequencing was performed as a whole-genome shotgun of the...

Assembly of the Candida albicans genome into sixteen supercontigs aligned on the eight chromosomes

Van Het Hoog, Marco, Rast, Timothy J, Martchenko, Mikhail, Grindle, Suzanne, Dignard, Daniel, Hogues, Hervé, ...

For Assembly 20 of the Candida albicans genome, the sequence of each of the eight chromosomes was determined, revealing new insights into gene family creation and dispersion, subtelomere...
