Timing the Origin of Cryptococcus gattii sensu stricto, Southeastern United States

We conducted molecular clock analysis of whole-genome sequences from a set of autochthonous isolates of Cryptococcus gattii sensu stricto from the southeastern United States. Our analysis indicates that C. gattii arrived in the southeastern United States approximately 9,000–19,000 years ago, long be...

Sumario:We conducted molecular clock analysis of whole-genome sequences from a set of autochthonous isolates of Cryptococcus gattii sensu stricto from the southeastern United States. Our analysis indicates that C. gattii arrived in the southeastern United States approximately 9,000–19,000 years ago, long before its arrival in the Pacific Northwest.
