Abstract
With microsatellite marker typing, the number of alleles must be known for calculation of allelic frequencies in the diploid Candida albicans for a given locus. We describe a gene dosage with a double real-time PCR. Such a dosage should also be useful in exploring the loss of heterozygosity in C. albicans .Keywords
