Pathogenicity is associated with population structure in a fungal pathogen of humans
E. Anne Hatmaker, Amelia E. Barber, Milton T. Drott…·Antonis Rokas
The paper analyzes genomic data from 250 Aspergillus flavus isolates to show that pathogenicity is strongly linked to population structure, with population D containing most clinical isolates and harboring genes related to zinc ion binding and lipid metabolism.
