Parallel evolution under constraint shapes echinocandin resistance in Candida auris

Nicholas C. Cauldron, Erika N. Dort, Garrett Weeks…·Christina A. Cuomo

Across 681 matched isolates and 22,388 genomes, high-level micafungin resistance in Candida auris arises through recurrent FKS1 hotspot mutations amid strong purifying selection, and FKS2 appears dispensable.

Heterogeneity in establishment of polyethylene glycol-mediated plasmid transformations for five forest pathogenic Phytophthora species

Erika N. Dort, Richard C. Hamelin

This study evaluates PEG-mediated plasmid transformation in five forest Phytophthora species, finding successful transformation only in P. cactorum and P. ramorum, with variable results in the latter.
