A Candida albicans dispersed, repeated gene family and its epidemiologic applications.
Open accessAbstract
Candida albicans causes a wide variety of infections but can readily be isolated from the skin and mucosa of healthy individuals. To enable high-resolution epidemiologic studies on this common pathogen, a species-specific DNA probe has been isolated from its genome. There are approximately equal to 10 copies of the sequence dispersed among the chromosome-sized DNA molecules resolved by pulsed-field electrophoresis. New DNA polymorphisms in this gene family arise at high rates. As a consequence, this probe will readily distinguish strains from different patients in the same hospital and from various sites in individual patients. The DNA polymorphisms detected by using this probe are largely due to internal changes in members of the family rather than movement to new genomic locations. This suggests recombination or gene conversion rather than transposition as the mechanism producing the observed variation.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
