Candida albicans strain SC5314 genome sequence
Assembly 19: The C. albicans strain SC5314 genome sequence and diploid contig-level assembly by the Stanford Genome Technology Center was published in Jones et al. (2004). View the A19 paper and download the A19 supplementary information and sequence files or the original A19 sequence trace files. (The construction of the sequencing library and sequencing methods are described in Tzung et al. (2001).)

Multi Locus Sequence Typing (MLST)
Multi Locus Sequence Typing (MLST) schemes and isolate databases for C. albicans, C. glabrata, C. krusei, and C. tropicalis are available from PubMLST.org The website offers tools for strain typing and epidemiology, as well as extensive, manually curated isolate databases. Sequence data is accepted on the basis of individual sanger sequences as well as whole genome level. The old databases (not curated anymore) are still available. All data have been migrated to PubMLST.org in 2016.

PathoYeastract
PathoYeastract (Pathogenic Yeast Search for Transcriptional Regulators And Consensus Tracking) is a curated repository of all known regulatory associations between transcription factors (TF) and target genes in pathogenic Candida species, based on hundreds of bibliographic references. Currently, it includes C. albicans and C. glabrata, but addition of six more Candida species is under way. Described in Monteiro et al., 2017.
