Introduction of a bead beating step improves fungal DNA extraction from selected patient specimens
International Journal of Medical Microbiology, 2020 In immunocompromised patients a colonisation with fungi carries the risk to develop serious invasive fungal infection. An early detection is therefore important, but not optimal hitherto.

Examining the efficacy of a genotyping-by-sequencing technique for population genetic analysis of the mushroom Laccaria bicolor and evaluating whether a reference genome is necessary to assess homology [PDF]
, 2016 Given the diversity and ecological importance of Fungi, there is a lack of population genetic research on these organisms. The reason for this can be explained in part by their cryptic nature and difficulty in identifying genets.
