Abstract Fungal metabarcoding of substrates such as soil, wood, and water is uncovering
an unprecedented number of fungal species that do not seem to produce tangible …

The last decade has witnessed a revolution in the genomics of the fungal kingdom. Since
the sequencing of the first fungus in 1996, the number of available fungal genome …

There is a need to document the methodologies used for molecular phylogenetic analyses
since the current fungal identification, classification and phylogeny are necessarily applied …

Abstract Background The Internal Transcribed Spacer (ITS) regions of fungal ribosomal DNA
(rDNA) are highly variable sequences of great importance in distinguishing fungal species …

Fungi are found in all aerobic ecosystems, colonizing a diversity of substrates and
performing a wide diversity of functions, some of which are not well understood. Many …

Culture techniques are vital in both traditional and modern fungal taxonomy. Establishing
sexual–asexual links and synanamorphs, extracting DNA and secondary metabolites are …

Studies on the molecular diversity of the micro-eukaryotic community have shown that fungi
occupy a central position in a large number of marine habitats. Environmental surveys using …

High-throughput sequencing studies generate vast amounts of taxonomic data. Evolutionary
ecological hypotheses of the recovered taxa and Species Hypotheses are difficult to test due …

Some fungi with pleomorphic life-cycles still bear two names despite more than 20 years of
molecular phylogenetics that have shown how to merge the two systems of classification, the …

Abstract UNITE (https://unite. ut. ee/) is a web-based database and sequence management
environment for the molecular identification of fungi. It targets the formal fungal barcode—the …
