TL;DR: Fungi typically live in highly diverse communities composed of multiple ecological guilds, and FUNGuild is a tool that can be used to taxonomically parse fungal OTUs by ecological guild independent of sequencing platform or analysis pipeline.

TL;DR: The genome prevalence of polycistronic transcription in a phylogenetic range of higher fungi is revealed for the first time and it is shown that the long-read sequencing approach and combined bioinformatics pipeline is a generic powerful tool for precise characterization of complex transcriptomes that enables identification of mRNA isoforms not recovered via short-read assembly.

TL;DR: This review synthesizes current knowledge of fungal functional ecology, taxonomy and systematics and introduces a novel database offungal functional traits (FunFun), built to interface with other databases to explore and predict how fungalfunctional diversity varies by taxonomy, guild, and other evolutionary or ecological grouping variables.

TL;DR: This study focuses on brown rot fungi that selectively remove carbohydrates, leaving most lignin behind, and provides evidence of an oxidative-hydrolytic two-step mechanism controlled by differential expression, not microenvironments.

TL;DR: This repository contains the raw sequencing data for this study, which was used to generate the fungal community structure and function data in the paper, following the pipeline in the supplement File S1.
