Transcriptomic profiles of Candida albicans grown in the presence or absence of mucins. Transcriptomic profiles of Candida albicans grown in the presence or absence of mucins

We use high-throughput sequencing to profile the response of the opportunistic fungal pathogen Candida albicans to mucins from the mucosal niche. We find that C. albicans undergoes a genome-wide phenotypic shift in response to mucins suppressing virulence-associated pathways. Overall design: Examination of differential gene expression in C. albicans in response to mucins
