Comparative Genomics of Sibling Species of Fonsecaea Associated with Human Chromoblastomycosis

Fonsecaea and Cladophialophora are genera of black yeast-like fungi harboring agents of a mutilating implantation disease in humans, along with strictly environmental species. The current hypothesis suggests that those species reside in somewhat adverse microhabitats, and pathogenic siblings share v...
