Fungal infections by drug-resistant Candida albicans pose a global public health threat. However, the pathogen's diploid genome greatly hinders genome-wide investigations of resistance mechanisms. Here, we develop an efficient piggyBac transposon-mediated mutagenesis system using stable haploid C. albicans to conduct
