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

Towards a unified paradigm for sequence-based identification of fungi

TL;DR: All fungal species represented by at least two ITS sequences in the international nucleotide sequence databases are now given a unique, stable name of the accession number type, and the term ‘species hypothesis’ (SH) is introduced for the taxa discovered in clustering on different similarity thresholds.
Journal ArticleDOI

Global diversity and geography of soil fungi

Leho Tedersoo, +57 more
- 28 Nov 2014 - 
TL;DR: Diversity of most fungal groups peaked in tropical ecosystems, but ectomycorrhizal fungi and several fungal classes were most diverse in temperate or boreal ecosystems, and manyfungal groups exhibited distinct preferences for specific edaphic conditions (such as pH, calcium, or phosphorus).
