Transcriptional Regulation on Aneuploid Chromosomes in Diverse Candida albicans Mutants

Abstract Candida albicans is a diploid fungus and a predominant opportunistic human pathogen. Notably, C. albicans employs reversible chromosomal aneuploidies as a means of survival in adverse environments. We previously characterized transcription on the monosomic chromosome 5 (Ch5) that arises wit...
