Genetic transformation is the primary method of genetic manipulation of Candida albicans . The lack of a complete sexual cycle prevents application of classical genetic analyses. However, transformation permits introduction into the genome of a wide variety of defined mutations including deletions, insertions, and fusions. Although several methods of transformation are available, the lithium-cation-induced transformation method described here is the most commonly used.
