Based on an overview of progress in molecular systematics of the true fungi
(Fungi/Eumycota) since 1990, little overlap was found among single‐locus data matrices …

Research in fungal phylogenetics and systematics progressed rapidly in the past decade
due to advances in DNA sequencing technologies and analytical methods. A newfound …

Fungal phylogenetics has always been based on characters, but technological and
intellectual advances are introducing new kinds of characters and new ways of thinking …

In 1996 the genome of Saccharomyces cerevisiae was published and marked the beginning
of a new era in fungal biology (1). Since then, rapid advancements in both sequencing …

The 140 000 or so fungal species reported so far are heterogeneously defined based on
varying criteria such as morphological, physiological, mating, and (or) molecular features …

It is a certainty that the tree of life can be broken up into large units of biodiversity that span
such great evolutionary distances that one could call them kingdoms. However, if these units …

A major goal of the Assembling the Fungal Tree of Life project is to create a searchable
database< http://aftol. umn. edu> of selected ultrastructural and biochemical characters from …

• Premise of the study: Fungi are major decomposers in certain ecosystems and essential
associates of many organisms. They provide enzymes and drugs and serve as experimental …

Abstract We present a 6-gene, 420-species maximum-likelihood phylogeny of Ascomycota,
the largest phylum of Fungi. This analysis is the most taxonomically complete to date with …

The fungal kingdom comprises a hyperdiverse clade of heterotrophic eukaryotes
characterized by the presence of a chitinous cell wall, the loss of phagotrophic capabilities …
