Ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi are typically examined for taxonomic affiliation through
sequence similarity searches involving the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region of the …

Identification of ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi is often achieved through comparisons of
ribosomal DNA internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequences with accessioned sequences …

The fungi kingdom is among the most diverse eukaryotic lineages on Earth with estimates of
several million extant species (O'Brien et al., 2005; Blackwell, 2011; Taylor et al., 2014) …

The environmental and distributional data associated with fungal internal transcribed spacer
(ITS) sequences in GenBank are investigated and a new web‐based tool with which these …

Novel high‐throughput sequencing methods outperform earlier approaches in terms of
resolution and magnitude. They enable identification and relative quantification of …

The development of a universal approach to the identification of fungi from the environment
is impeded by the limited number and narrow phylogenetic range of the named internal …

Incompleteness of reference sequence databases and unresolved taxonomic relationships
complicates taxonomic placement of fungal sequences. We developed Protax‐fungi, a …

The article presents proposals regarding the standards on how next-generation sequencing
(NGS) studies for scientific community should be conducted and analyzed. It recommends …

There is urgent need for a formal nomenclature of sequence-based, voucherless Fungi,
given that environmental sequencing has accumulated more than one billion fungal ITS …

The nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region is the formal fungal barcode
and in most cases the marker of choice for the exploration of fungal diversity in …
