Transcriptomic analysis of Candida albicans cup9 deletion mutant

Goal: We employed RNA-seq to identify targets of regulation of the Candida albicans transcription regulator CUP9. The cup9 deletion mutant strain displays increased fitness in a mouse model of oropharyngeal candidiasis. Comparison of the transcriptome of Candida albicans wild-type reference strain vs. isogenic cup9 deletion mutant. One growth condition, two biological replicates per sample. RNA-seq data generated with Illumina HiSeq2500.
