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

Finding needles in haystacks: Linking scientific names, reference specimens and molecular data for Fungi

Conrad L. Schoch, +101 more
- 30 Jun 2014 - 
TL;DR: A set of standards and protocols are proposed to improve the data quality of new sequences, and it is suggested how type and other reference sequences can be used to improve identification of Fungi.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genome sequence of the button mushroom Agaricus bisporus reveals mechanisms governing adaptation to a humic-rich ecological niche

TL;DR: Observations reveal genetic and enzymatic mechanisms governing adaptation to the humic-rich ecological niche formed during plant degradation, further defining the critical role such fungi contribute to soil structure and carbon sequestration in terrestrial ecosystems.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Case for Adopting the "Species Complex" Nomenclature for the Etiologic Agents of Cryptococcosis.

TL;DR: In the absence of biological differences between clades and no consensus about how DNA sequence alone can delineate a species, it is recommended to use “Cryptococcus neoformans species complex” and “C. gattii speciescomplex” as a practical intermediate step, rather than creating more species.
Journal ArticleDOI

Quantitative variation of biofilms among strains in natural populations of Candida albicans.

TL;DR: The results demonstrated that natural clones and clonal lineages of C. albicans exhibited extensive quantitative variation in biofilm formation, and was positively correlated with cell surface hydrophobicity.
