Abstract
The invention provides methods for identifying nucleic acids and polypeptides derived from fungi that are useful as antifungal targets for diagnosis and/or treatment of fungal diseases. The invention also provides isolated fungal-specific nucleic acids and polypeptides comprising antifungal targets. Methods for identifying antifungal agents that interact with and/or alter the function the antifungal targets are provided.
