Signature gene expression reveals novel clues to the molecular mechanisms of dimorphic transition in Penicillium marneffei.

Systemic dimorphic fungi cause more than one million new infections each year, ranking them among the significant public health challenges currently encountered. Penicillium marneffei is a systemic dimorphic fungus endemic to Southeast Asia. The temperature-dependent dimorphic phase transition betwe...
