This group described and improved the number of annotated protein-coding genes in the transcriptome of Exophiala dermatitidis (Poyntner et al., 2016) and tested a polyketide synthase (PKS1) mutant of E. dermatitidis to evaluate the role of melanin during skin infection (Poyntner et al., 2018). Here, ARAFP2 is linked to skin infection.
