Diversity of Fungal DNA Methyltransferases and Their Association With DNA Methylation Patterns [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021 DNA methyltransferases (DNMTs) are a group of proteins that catalyze DNA methylation by transferring a methyl group to DNA. The genetic variation in DNMTs results in differential DNA methylation patterns associated with various biological processes.

Comparison of methods for isolating fungal DNA [PDF]
Practical Laboratory Medicine, 2021 Objectives: The main aim of this work was to compare the methods of DNA isolation in the moulds of genus Mucorales with special regard to the amount and purity of the DNA acquired. The acquired DNA was then amplified by specific real-time PCR.

Optimization of DNA extraction from human urinary samples for mycobiome community profiling. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2019 IntroductionRecent data suggest the urinary tract hosts a microbial community of varying composition, even in the absence of infection. Culture-independent methodologies, such as next-generation sequencing of conserved ribosomal DNA sequences, provide an

Spatial structure of fungal DNA assemblages revealed with eDNA metabarcoding in a forest river network in western Japan [PDF]
Metabarcoding and Metagenomics, 2019 Growing evidence has revealed high diversity and spatial heterogeneity of fungal communities in local habitats of terrestrial ecosystems. Recently, the analysis of environmental DNA has been undertaken to study the biodiversity of organisms, such as ...
