DOI: 10.1093/femsec/fiac036
Abstract: Cryptococcus gattii, an environmental yeast isolated from plants, is one of the agents of cryptococcosis. Here we aimed to develop a plant model to study C. gattii-plant interaction since it is unclear how it affects… read more here.

DOI: 10.1186/s12864-017-3688-4
Abstract: BackgroundThe absence of Argonaute genes in the fungal pathogen Cryptococcus gattii R265 and other VGII strains indicates that yeasts of this genotype cannot have a functional RNAi pathway, an evolutionarily conserved gene silencing mechanism performed… read more here.

DOI: 10.3724/abbs.2022029
Abstract: Cryptococcus gattii is a kind of basidiomycetous yeast, which grows in human and animal hosts. C. gattii has four distinct genomes, VGI/AFLP4, VGII/AFLP6, VGIII/AFLP5, and VGIV/AFLP7. The virulence of C. gattii is closely associated with… read more here.
