CGD Survey Needs Your Input |
This is our chance to improve CGD. Our NIH grant renewal is due in early July and we need your input to make the upgrades that you want to see. If you haven't yet filled out the survey, it takes only 10 to 15 minutes and has great value for all of us. Find it at Candida Genome Database Survey 2024.

The Fungal Pathogen Genomics Course Now Open for Applications |
The Fungal Pathogen Genomics Course is a hands-on training in web-based data-mining resources for fungal genomes taught by data curation experts. It will be held June 2-7 in Hinxton, UK. The application deadline is Feb 29, 2024 and the course typically fills up.

Expanded Curation of Clinical Data by ITS1 and ITS2 Features for All Species |
Representative copies of ITS1 and ITS2 features for C. auris, C. glabrata, C. dubliniensis, and C. parapsilosis have been added to complement those of C. albicans. The addition of locus pages for these transcribed spacers between rDNA genes (used for strain typing in clinical studies) will allow us to curate these studies by directing the literature to the loci used for identifying the strains. We hope this expansion of searchable clinical data will add value to the database for Candida researchers in medical fields.

New Assembly for Candida glabrata Genome |
We are pleased to announce the incorporation of a new assembly for the
C. glabrata CBS138 genome, which leveraged long-read sequencing
to correct previous assembly errors in repetitive regions
(Xu et al., 2020).
The sub-telomeric regions of all chromosomes were substantially lengthened,
resulting in changes of chromosomal coordinates for all genomic features.
31 new protein-coding genes were added. The rDNA region on Chr L was expanded
significantly, and a second rDNA region was added to Chr M. 62 genes from the
previous assembly were removed, and sequences were corrected for an additional
32 features, ranging from single-base changes to major structural rearrangements.
The update adds or corrects the sequences of 45 genes encoding GPI-anchored cell
wall proteins (GPI-CWPs), which contain many long tandem repeats.
See this page for a list of
added, modified, or removed features.
