Chromosome copy number variation in Cryptococcus neoformans influences virulence and occurs in isolates from AIDS patients. Cryptococcus neoformans

Influence of copy number changes at several chromosomes to melanin production and virulence of Cryptococcus neoformans Overall design: Black(B4) and white(W2) strains were compared to each other. Black variant from white strain (W2BA1) is also compared to the black strain(B4).
