This study shows that non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) facilitates rapid adaptation to caspofungin in Nakaseomyces glabratus by enabling FKS2 mutations, while NHEJ-deficient strains adapt less efficiently through alternative pathways.

This study investigates the role of REV1, an error-prone polymerase, in DNA damage and antifungal drug resistance in Candida albicans, finding that its deletion increases mutation rates and resistance.
