Oligonucleotide Primers for Candida Albicans Protein Kinase Gene Deletion Study

A set of oligonucleotide primers used in a study investigating essential protein kinases in the pathogenic yeast Candida albicans. The dataset, authored by Bernardo Ramírez-Zavala and last updated in April 2026, is provided as a 19.6 KB XLSX file. It supports research on gene deletion and the functional analysis of kinases involved in cell growth and septation.

Use Cases

• Designing genetic knockout experiments based on the provided primer sequences.
• Studying the role of essential kinases in cell viability and septum formation in Candida albicans.
• Comparing kinase networks between Candida albicans and model organisms like Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
• Investigating suppressor mutations in genes like Pma1 that restore growth in kinase-deficient mutants.

Strengths

• Data is shared under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license, allowing for reuse with attribution.
• Primer sequences are directly linked to a published study on essential protein kinases in Candida albicans.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset is very small (19.6 KB), indicating a limited scope focused on primer sequences only.
