Abstract:Candida albicans, the most common fungal pathogen, is a diploid with a genome that is rich in repeats and has high levels of heterozygosity. To study the role of different recombination pathways on direct-repeat recombination, we replaced either allele of the RAD52 gene (Chr6) with the URA-blaster cassette (hisG-URA3-hisG), measured rates of URA3 loss as resistance to 5-fluoroorotic acid (5FOAR) and used CHEF Southern hybridization and SNP-RFLP analysis to identify recombination mechanisms and their frequency … Show more
