The Genome of the Human Pathogen Candida albicans Is Shaped by Mutation and Cryptic Sexual Recombination

Mutations introduce variation into the genome upon which selection can act. Defining the nature of these changes is critical for determining species evolution, as well as for understanding the genetic changes driving important cellular processes. The heterozygous diploid fungus Candida albicans is b...
