Journal ArticleDOI

Nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region as a universal DNA barcode marker for Fungi

Conrad L. Schoch, +160 more
TL;DR: Among the regions of the ribosomal cistron, the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region has the highest probability of successful identification for the broadest range of fungi, with the most clearly defined barcode gap between inter- and intraspecific variation.
Journal ArticleDOI

The new higher level classification of eukaryotes with emphasis on the taxonomy of protists

TL;DR: This revision of the classification of unicellular eukaryotes updates that of Levine et al. (1980) for the protozoa and expands it to include other protists, and proposes a scheme that is based on nameless ranked systematics.
Journal ArticleDOI

A class-wide phylogenetic assessment of Dothideomycetes

Conrad L. Schoch, +54 more
- 01 Jan 2009 - 
TL;DR: A genomic comparison of 6 dothideomycete genomes with other fungi finds a high level of unique protein associated with the class, supporting its delineation as a separate taxon.
Journal ArticleDOI

Families of Dothideomycetes

Kevin D. Hyde, +72 more
- 10 Dec 2013 - 
TL;DR: Dothideomycetes comprise a highly diverse range of fungi characterized mainly by asci with two wall layers (bitunicate asci) and often with fissitunicate dehiscence, and it is hoped that by illustrating types they provide stimulation and interest so that more work is carried out in this remarkable group of fungi.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fungal biodiversity in aquatic habitats

TL;DR: It is predicted that many species remain to be discovered in aquatic habitats given the few taxonomic specialists studying these fungi, the few substrate types studied intensively, and the vast geographical area not yet sampled.
