Mononucleotide repeats are asymmetrically distributed in fungal genes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Background Systematic analyses of sequence features have resulted in a better characterisation of the organisation of the genome. A previous study in prokaryotes on the distribution of sequence repeats, which are notoriously variable and can disrupt the ...

Dnabarcoder: An open‐source software package for analysing and predicting DNA sequence similarity cutoffs for fungal sequence identification

open access: yes, 2022
The accuracy and precision of fungal molecular identification and classification are challenging, particularly in environmental metabarcoding approaches as these often trade accuracy for efficiency given the large data volumes at hand. In most ecological

Fungal community survey of Fraxinus excelior in New Zealand [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The European Ash tree (Fraxinus excelsior) is widely grown throughout Europe. As a large deciduous tree species, it grows a tall, domed crown and has an attractive tree shape, so it is considered as a popular amenity tree species. European Ash is planted

Combined bacterial and fungal targeted amplicon sequencing of respiratory samples: Does the DNA extraction method matter?

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2020
BACKGROUND:High-throughput sequencing techniques are used to analyse the diversity of the respiratory microbiota in health and disease. Although extensive data are available regarding bacterial respiratory microbiota, its fungal component remains poorly ...

In silico reversal of repeat-induced point mutation (RIP) identifies the origins of repeat families and uncovers obscured duplicated genes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Background: Repeat-induced point mutation (RIP) is a fungal genome defence mechanism guarding against transposon invasion. RIP mutates the sequence of repeated DNA and over time renders the affected regions unrecognisable by similarity search tools such ...

Fungal entomopathogens: new insights on their ecology [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
An important mechanism for insect pest control should be the use of fungal entomopathogens. Even though these organisms have been studied for more than 100 y, their effective use in the field remains elusive.

A quantitative PCR approach to determine gene copy number [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Here, we report on the use of quantitative PCR (qPCR) to determine gene copy number in filamentous fungi. Using the sequenced dothideomycete Stagonospora nodorum, qPCR was used to unequivocally confirm the presence of single, two and three copy regions ...

Succession of wood-inhabiting fungal communities [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Dead wood constitutes an important substrate for biodiversity in boreal forests. As the wood decays, fungal communities develop and species associations are formed.

ITS2 REGION-BASED MOLECULAR IDENTIFICATION OF FUNGAL PATHOGENS IN EQUINE CORNEAL ULCERATION [PDF]

open access: yesAssiut Veterinary Medical Journal, 2014
This study aimed to assess the utility of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and DNA sequencing in diagnosing fungal ulcerative keratitis in horses and compare their sensitivity with conventional microbiologic techniques used in laboratories.

Fungal CSL transcription factors [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Background: The CSL (CBF1/RBP-J kappa/Suppressor of Hairless/LAG-1) transcription factor family members are well-known components of the transmembrane receptor Notch signaling pathway, which plays a critical role in metazoan development. They function as
