This study investigates genome plasticity in Scheffersomyces stipitis, showing that retrotransposons drive genomic diversity and rapid adaptation through chromosome rearrangements.

The paper presents the first genome-wide chromatin profiling of histone modifications in Candida albicans, linking chromatin structure to gene expression and identifying roles of chromatin modifiers.

This study identifies Hda2 and Hda3 as regulators of morphological switches in C. albicans, suggesting they are potential targets for anti-fungal drug development.
