Natural mismatch repair mutations mediate phenotypic diversity and drug resistance in Cryptococcus deuterogattii
Pathogenic microbes confront an evolutionary conflict between the pressure to maintain genome stability and the need to adapt to mounting external stresses. Bacteria often respond with elevated mutation rates, but little evidence exists of stable eukaryotic hypermutators in nature. Whole genome rese...
