Genome analysis of three Pneumocystis species reveals adaptation mechanisms to life exclusively in mammalian hosts

Pneumocystis jirovecii is a major cause of life-threatening pneumonia in immunosuppressed patients including transplant recipients and those with HIV/AIDS, yet surprisingly little is known about the biology of this fungal pathogen. Here we report near complete genome assemblies for three Pneumocysti...
