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.
