The deep sequencing of 16S rRNA genes amplified by universal primers has revolutionized
our understanding of microbial communities by allowing the characterization of the diversity …

The genus Rhizoctonia consists of a diverse assemblage of anamorphic fungi frequently
associated with plants and soil throughout the world. Some anamorphs are related with …

In an effort to establish a suitable alternative to the widely used 18S rRNA system for
molecular systematics of fungi, we examined the nuclear gene RPB2, encoding the second …

Abstract The Ribosomal Database Project (RDP) is a curated database that offers ribosome-
related data, analysis services and associated computer programs. The offerings include …

Fungi are morphologically, ecologically, metabolically, and phylogenetically diverse. They
are known to produce numerous bioactive molecules, which makes them very useful for …

R NA sequencing with reverse transcriptase, synthetic oligonucleotide primers and
dideoxynucleotides is a particularly attractive choice for comparing ribosomal RNAs …

Molecular identification methods, in particular high-throughput sequencing tools, have
greatly improved our knowledge about fungal diversity and biogeography, but many of the …

The introduction of molecular biological techniques has been a major force in the areas of
systematics and population biology of filamentous fungi. Unlike the development of …

The complete small ribosomal subunit RNA (srRNA) sequence was determined for the red
alga Porphyra umbilicalis and the basidiomycete Leucosporidium scottii, representing two …

Ribosomal DNA sequence analysis, originally conceived as a way to provide a universal
phylogeny for life forms, has proven useful in many areas of biological research. Some of the …
