Amplification of TLO Mediator Subunit Genes Facilitate Filamentous Growth in Candida Spp.
Filamentous growth is a hallmark of C. albicans pathogenicity compared to less-virulent ascomycetes. A multitude of transcription factors regulate filamentous growth in response to specific environmental cues. Our work, however, suggests the evolutionary history of C. albicans that resulted in its f...
