Project description:We obtained ketoconazole tolerant mutants in Candida albicans after exposing the strain SC5314 to inhibitory concentration of ketoconazole. We did RNA-Seq to compare the transcriptomes of the aneuploid strains versus the parent euploid strain.
Project description:Candida albicans lab strain SC5314, which is a euploid diploid, was used to generate aneuploid fluconazole adaptors. Transcriptomes of aneuploids were compared to the euploid parent by growing cells in rich YPD broth.
Project description:Candida albicans lab strain SC5314 was used as parent to obtain tebuconazole adaptors. Two adaptors, TJ1503 and TJ1669 were aneuploid. Transcriptomes of these two strains were compared to SC5314.
Project description:We used C. albicans diploid reference strain SC5314 to obtain aneuploid colonies via selection by drugs. We got a collection of aneuploid strains bearing trisomy of each homolog of each chromosome.
Project description:In Candida albicans, aneuploids are unstable. When grown on YPD-agar plates, aneuploids exhibit colony size variations. In this study, 6 aneuploid strains were spread on YPD-agar plates. The large colonies from each strain were sequenced. The small colonies were sequenced in another project.
Project description:Aneuploidy and the evolution of aneuploid karyotypes of Candida albicans strains was identified using aCGH. Whole chromosome and segmental aneuploidies, (specifically on the left arm of chromosome 5 - shown to be due to isochromosome formation) are associated with the appearance of resistance to the antifungal drug fluconazole. Keywords: Comparative Genomic Hybridization
Project description:In Candida parapsilosis, transcriptomes of two aneuploid adaptors, TJ60 and TJ74, were compared to the euploid parent #12108. Cells were grown in YPD broth at 37C from OD600=0.1 to 1.0. Cells were collected and RNA was extracted.
Project description:Aneuploidy and the evolution of aneuploid karyotypes of Candida albicans strains was identified using aCGH. Whole chromosome and segmental aneuploidies, (specifically on the left arm of chromosome 5 - shown to be due to isochromosome formation) are associated with the appearance of resistance to the antifungal drug fluconazole. Keywords: Comparative Genomic Hybridization Hybridization of all strains was compared to the hybridization of SC5314, the sequenced laboratory strain.
Project description:Several aneuploid Candida glabrata strains, each bearing a unique karyotype, were spread on YPD plates. They all exhibited colony size vairations. Randmly 10 large colonies from each strain were sequenced.
