General description
Standardization of sample analysis is essential in microbiome genomics research workflow. Lack of standardization can lead to biases and errors in common processes during sample preparation and analysis such as sample amplification, sequencing, and bioinformatics analyses.1 The human microbiome includes not only bacteria, but also viruses and fungi. While the “bacteriome” field has been researched extensively in the past years, fungi including yeasts, comprising the “mycobiome”, remain relatively neglected. Fungi and yeasts have been shown to be involved in illness conditions such as cancer and gastrointestinal disease. The human gut is populated by three fungal phyla, Ascomycota, Basidiomycota, and Zygomycota.
The fungal microbial genomic DNA standard from Candida albicans can serve as standard for benchmarking the performance along the workflow of microbiome research and metagenomic analyses, as well as a tool to increase reproducibility and allow comparison of results obtained by different labs.
Candida albicans is an opportunistic human fungal pathogen belonging to Ascomycota. It exists as a harmless commensal in the gastrointestinal and genitourinary tracts in about 70% of humans and about 75% of women suffer from Candida infection at least once in their lifetime. C. albicans has emerged as a model organism for studying fungal pathogens along with other two fungi: Aspergillus fumigatus and Cryptococcus neoformans.2
