The genome of Malassezia sympodialis
In this study, we sequenced the genome of M. sympodialis to a high-coverage             with the aims to: i) explore genomic features related to the biology of the yeast, ii)             investigate the function and molecular evolution of allergens related to atopic             eczema, and iii) elucidate a potential sexual cycle. The M. sympodialis genome was             compared to the published genome of M. globosa, a species associated with dandruff, as             well as to genomes of other fungi found on human skin or plants such as U.             maydis.
