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

FUNGuild: An open annotation tool for parsing fungal community datasets by ecological guild

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

Using network analysis to explore co-occurrence patterns in soil microbial communities

TL;DR: The potential of exploring inter-taxa correlations to gain a more integrated understanding of microbial community structure and the ecological rules guiding community assembly is demonstrated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cross-biome metagenomic analyses of soil microbial communities and their functional attributes

TL;DR: As the most comprehensive survey of soil taxonomic, phylogenetic, and functional diversity to date, this study demonstrates that metagenomic approaches can be used to build a predictive understanding of how microbial diversity and function vary across terrestrial biomes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Examining the global distribution of dominant archaeal populations in soil.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used barcoded pyrosequencing to comprehensively survey archaeal and bacterial communities in 146 soils, representing a multitude of soil and ecosystem types from across the globe.
