Abstract

The diploid heterozygous yeast Candida albicans is the most common cause of fungal infection. Here, we report the genome sequence assembly of the clinical oral isolate 529L. As this isolate grows as a commensal, this genome will serve as a reference for experimental and genetic studies of mucosal colonization.
