High impact information on ALS7

ORFs in the opposite direction contained within the ALS7 ORF were also transcribed in all strains tested [1].
C. albicans is diploid, and combinations of ALS7 alleles generated 49 different genotypes [1].
Detection of transcripts from ALS7, and particularly from ALS6, was more sporadic, but not associated with a strictly temporal pattern [2].
Expression of all ALS genes was observed in oral clinical material collected from HIV-positive patients although ALS6 and ALS7 transcripts required an extra PCR amplification step to be detected [3].
