About CGD |

|
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.
