Intragenomic variation is the molecular variation within the genome among repetitive DNA.
As a multigene family, nuclear ribosomal DNA (rDNA) has been widely used in fungal …

Introns are ubiquitous in eukaryotic genomes and have long been considered as 'junk
RNA'but the huge energy expenditure in their transcription, removal, and degradation …

Four different primer pairs were designed for the preferential PCR amplification of fungal
SSU rDNA directly from environmental samples. Most of the amplification products obtained …

As more original molecular protocols and subsequent modifications are described in the
literature, it has become difficult for those not directly involved in the development of these …

Efforts are currently underway to establish a standard DNA barcode region for fungi; we
tested the utility of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) of nuclear ribosomal DNA for DNA …

Group I introns were discovered inserted at the same position in the nuclear small-subunit
ribosomal DNA (nuc-ssu-rDNA) in several species of homobasidiomycetes (mushroom …

The resolving power and statistical support provided by two protein-coding (RPB1 and
RPB2) and three ribosomal RNA-coding (nucSSU, nucLSU, and mitSSU) genes individually …

The foliose epiphytic lichen Lobaria pulmonaria has suffered a significant decline in
European lowlands during the last decades and therefore is considered as endangered …

We present a compilation of polymerase chain reaction primers (oligonucleotides) used to
amplify and sequence the small subunit of nuclear ribosomal DNA. To simplify use of these …

The concept of species and species complexes of lichenized fungi is reviewed in the light of
recent molecular approaches. Species concepts based on chemistry, morphology …
