title: Genomic exploration of the hemiascomycetous yeasts: 16. Candida tropicalis.
abstract: The genome of the diploid hemiascomycetous yeast Candida tropicalis, an opportunistic human pathogen and an important organism for industrial applications, was explored by the analysis of 2541 Random Sequenced Tags (RSTs) covering about 20% of its genome. Comparison of these sequences with Saccharomyces cerevisiae and other species permitted the identification and the analysis of a total of more than 1000 novel genetic elements of C. tropicalis. Moreover, the present study confirms that in C. tropicalis, the rare CUG codon is read as a serine and not a leucine. The sequences have been deposited at EMBL with the accession numbers AL438875-AL441602.
