Open AccessAssessing Biotic and Abiotic Interactions of Microorganisms in Amazonia through Co-Occurrence Networks and DNA Metabarcoding
Species may co-occur due to responses to similar environmental conditions, biological associations, or simply because of coincident geographical distributions. Disentangling patterns of co-occurrence and poten...

Open AccessSignificant taxon sampling gaps in DNA databases limit the operational use of marine macrofauna metabarcoding
Significant effort is spent on monitoring of benthic ecosystems through government funding or indirectly as a cost of business, and metabarcoding of environmental DNA samples has been suggested as a possible c...

Open AccessNotes, outline and divergence times of Basidiomycota
The Basidiomycota constitutes a major phylum of the kingdom Fungi and is second in species numbers to the Ascomycota. The present work provides an overview of all validly published, currently used basidiomycet...

Open AccessStandardizing metadata and taxonomic identification in metabarcoding studies
High-throughput sequencing-based metabarcoding studies produce vast amounts of ecological data, but a lack of consensus on standardization of metadata and how to refer to the species recovered severely hampers...

Open AccessOne stop shop: backbones trees for important phytopathogenic genera: I (2014)
Many fungi are pathogenic on plants and cause significant damage in agriculture and forestry. They are also part of the natural ecosystem and may play a role in regulating plant numbers/density. Morphological ...

Open AccessA software pipeline for processing and identification of fungal ITS sequences
Fungi from environmental samples are typically identified to species level through DNA sequencing of the nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region for use in BLAST-based similarity searches in th...

Open AccessMining metadata from unidentified ITS sequences in GenBank: A case study in Inocybe (Basidiomycota)
The lack of reference sequences from well-identified mycorrhizal fungi often poses a challenge to the inference of taxonomic affiliation of sequences from environmental samples, and many environmental sequence...

Open AccessApproaching the taxonomic affiliation of unidentified sequences in public databases – an example from the mycorrhizal fungi
During the last few years, DNA sequence analysis has become one of the primary means of taxonomic identification of species, particularly so for species that are minute or otherwise lack distinct, readily obta...

Open AccessgalaxieEST: addressing EST identity through automated phylogenetic analysis
Research involving expressed sequence tags (ESTs) is intricately coupled to the existence of large, well-annotated sequence repositories. Comparatively complete and satisfactory annotated public sequence libra...
