Comparative genome hybridization reveals widespread genome variation in pathogenic cryptococcus species

Genome variability can influence the virulence of pathogenic microbes. The availability of genome sequences for strains of the AIDS-associated fungal pathogens Cryptococcus neoformans and C. gattii presented an opportunity to use Comparative Genome Hybridization (CGH) to examine genome variabilit...
