Small pangenome of Candida parapsilosis reflects overall low intraspecific diversity

Adam P. Ryan, Sean A. Bergin, Jillian Scully, Evelyn Zuniga‐Soto, Conor Hession, Amelia E. Barber, Emilia Gómez-Molero, Oliver Bader, Florent Morio, Bing Zhai, Kenneth H. Wolfe, Geraldine Butler

The paper defines the pangenome of 372 Candida parapsilosis isolates, revealing low genetic diversity and identifying gene content variations associated with nitrogen metabolism.
