About CGD

Help


 
The Candida Genome Database (CGD) provides online access to genomic sequence data and manually curated functional information about genes and proteins of the human pathogen Candida albicans and related species. C. albicans is the best studied of the human fungal pathogens. It is a common commensal organism of healthy individuals, but can cause debilitating mucosal infections and life-threatening systemic infections, especially in immunocompromised patients. C. albicans also serves as a model organism for the study of other fungal pathogens.

The Candida Genome Database (CGDTM) project is funded by the National Institute of Dental & Craniofacial Research at the US National Institutes of Health.    The CGDTM is in the Department of Genetics at the School of Medicine, Stanford University. The trademark on CGDTM is held byThe Board of Trustees, Leland Stanford Junior University.
