Due to the rapid release of new data from genome sequencing projects, the majority of
protein sequences in public databases have not been experimentally characterized; rather …

Accurate species-level identification of an etiological agent is crucial for disease diagnosis
and management because knowing the agent's identity connects it with what is known about …

Background Fungi are among the most abundant and diverse organisms on Earth. However,
a substantial amount of the species diversity, relationships, habitats, and life strategies of …

Fungal taxonomy and ecology have been revolutionized by the application of molecular
methods and both have increasing connections to genomics and functional biology …

The internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region of the nuclear ribosomal repeat unit is the most
popular locus for species identification and subgeneric phylogenetic inference in sequence …

Background Although it has proven to be an important foundation for investigations of
carnivoran ecology, biology and evolution, the complete species-level supertree for …

Human and animal fungal pathogens are a growing threat worldwide leading to emerging
infections and creating new risks for established ones. There is a growing need for a rapid …

The use of DNA sequences for identifying fungi and fungus‐like organisms predates the
DNA barcoding movement by at least 10 years. A brief overview of the mycological shift from …

Fungal research is experiencing a new wave of methodological improvements that most
probably will boost mycology as profoundly as molecular phylogeny has done during the …

The order Mucorales comprises predominantly fast-growing saprotrophic fungi, some of
which are used for the fermentation of foodstuffs but it also includes species known to cause …
